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!

Everyday Eating & Mardi Gras

The beauty of eating gluten free is that it is simple. It takes you to core eating. Healthy foods. The difficulty is finding delicious healthy foods. Here are some of my everyday staples. Mind you, I love vegetables. Fresh vegetables are my favorite. Flash frozen are a far second. For a quick fun snack or even meal. Fresh green beans and Bella mushrooms. Microwave in a covered dish for 2-3 minutes to steam. For fun and food variety each month, my hubby and I like to follow themes with the seasons. This year we had home cooked New Orleans cuisine on Mardi Gras Tuesday. A great tasting gluten free sausage was our mission. We found one we love, Aidelles Cajun Andouille Sausage. Be ready, it is spicy. It is everything you are looking for in a sausage. Gluten Free, no MSG, no Nitrates, no added Hormones, no artificial ingredients. Whoo! Almost like making your own sausage. We tried Zaterain's Jambalaya mix last year. We tried Zatarain's Dirty Rice thi...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef ...
