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!

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 ...

The search for healthy delicious foods

I have been in a life long search to find healthy delicious foods that work for my health and my body. Always seeking to find the latest and greatest in foods and flavors that work best for me and my health. I am working to keep my body energetic and fit while overcoming health obstacles that I never imagined would be on my journey in this lifetime. I am writing this blog in the hopes to help others who are on the same journey. Busy women who are on a health quest for themselves and their families. Women who need to keep their energy high and their emotions on track daily so they can be a Proverbs 31 woman. (More to come about that later.) I am by no means an expert. Just a layperson who has taken advice from others (professionals, friends and others) and found that I have discovered more along the way than I ever could have imagined and I am sure to learn so much more. My new discovery; A gluten-free diet is amaz-mo. Food tastes better! You have more energy! Y...
