Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts

My Aunt Pat loves Brussels Sprouts, so last year for Thanksgiving, we made some just for her. Surprisingly, they ended up being the most talked about side dish at Thanksgiving. No one thought they really like Brussels Sprouts. I think this is because most people have tried them boiled. This does absolutely nothing for the Brussels Sprouts and  has given them a really bad reputation. Poor Brussels Sprouts.

However, when you put them in the oven, they come out golden brown and delicious. I love when some of the outside leaves fall off and get crispy crunchy.

So if you think that you do not like Brussels Sprouts, give these a try!

Veggie Lo Mein

Veggie Lo Mein is the best homemade Chinese take out fake recipe I have ever made. I make Chinese take out fake out recipes often. We love fried rice, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, orange chicken, lettuce wraps, veggie stir fry,etc. I prefer to make them at home because I can control the fat, salt, and sugar in my recipes. Healthy Chinese at home. Yes, please!

Quinoa Chicken Soup for the Soul

Quinoa Chicken Soup 2

Its been really gloomy and rainy this week. Cold, cloudy, grey days make me think of soup. A nice steaming bowl of chicken quinoa soup with a piece of honey wheat bread fresh from the bakery. Doesn’t that warm you up just thinking about it?

Is anyone else into making weekly to-do lists? I have recently been making them, and I have to say they are really working for me. I split my list up into a few sections: blog, for me, errands, and meal plan/grocery list.

I have something to say that not everyone is going to like…. Ahem, back off of the pumpkin spice!

Okay, okay, please put down the torches and pitchforks. Let’s not get overly dramatic here.
