Brussels Sprouts; New Twist on an Old Favorite

I love, love, love fresh summer veggies. The more we know about our health, the more we are finding fresh options throughout the year. Although nothing is as wonderful as "straight from your own garden" vegetable variety, we can still have great flavor and get our health-on too.

Ingredients

10 Brussels Sprouts. Sliced vertically in thirds.
1 whole Red Pepper. Sliced in two inch chunks.
10 fresh White or Bella Mushrooms. Sliced.
1 teaspoon Garlic Salt or 2 crushed cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (any variety)
2 cups of Water

Directions

Place all of the ingredients into a two quart pot, preferably with a colander-type lid. The lid allows the steam from the vegetables to release. Bring to a boil and steam boil for 7-10 minutes or until the vegetables are at your desired tenderness. Strain vegetables through a colander to eliminate the water and oil. Enjoy.

Have a Happy Health-a-licious Day!

Digestion being Gluten-Free Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...
