Tips For Eating and Living Well
These bright and flavorful Ethiopian Roasted Brussels Sprouts are my second roasted Brussels sprouts post in my series of 3. The first post was for “Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts,” which are great for kids and people who enjoy savory, non-spicy foods. But these Ethiopian roasted sprouts are perfect for people like me who like lots of flavor with a little kick. And since I’m always finding new ways to add turmeric to my diet for its anti-inflammatory properties, I added some of that too! …
For some reason I’ve been on a huge roasted Brussels sprouts kick lately, so this post is really Part 1 of 3 roasted sprouts recipes (woohoo!). Now don’t get me wrong — plain roasted Brussels sprouts are great, but it’s fun to change things up every now and then. This first recipe turned out beautifully, which resulted in my eating a pound of sprouts while standing over the baking pan. Seriously, these Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts are addictive! …
I gotta say, I’m SO glad it’s fall! I enjoy the summer, but it’s hard to beat those crisp fall days, the colorful leaves, the return of the Dixie Classic Fair, and the fall comfort food recipes. I’m also turning 29 tomorrow (for the third year in a row)! To celebrate, why don’t you make this comforting, nutritious, creamy Roasted Vegetable Alfredo Bake? It’s so good and filling, you’ll swear it contains dairy. But actually, I used my kitchen wizardry to make sure this one-dish wonder is vegan, gluten-free, and oil free! …
It’s finally time for Part III of my three-part series of roasted Brussels sprouts recipes, and I’ve saved the best for last! I personally love the “Cheesy” Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Ethiopian Brussels Sprouts, but these Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts are a family favorite. They’re slightly sweet, tangy, and savory — perfect for a nutritious snack or a side dish! If you try this recipe and still don’t like Brussels sprouts, I doubt you’ll ever like them. Sorry….
I know what you’re thinking: peanut butter and Brussels sprouts??? Weird…

I don’t know what it is about roasting vegetables that makes them taste so good, but I’ve really been into this method of cooking lately. Last week I roasted beets for my Caraway Beet Soup, and this week I roasted a vegetable medley and served it on a bed of steamed kale with a mustard vinaigrette drizzle. If you don’t like mustard, you could add balsamic vinegar or just eat this dish plain!…
This easy Ethiopian Sweet Potato Stew came from my desire to have dinner cooking in my crock pot while I worked on other things around the house, kept my 3-year-old alive and entertained, and tested other recipes for the blog. The result was too good not to share! Even Picky Husband gave it two thumbs up! 🙂 …
School started back a few weeks ago, which means moms are happy, leaves have started falling from the trees, and germs are spreading. Abby has already come home from school with a runny nose, so my husband and I are doing everything we can to boost our immune systems and stay healthy — from going to bed early to taking turmeric ginger shots.
There is no magic pill you can take to prevent illness, but there are certain measures you can take to greatly reduce your chances of getting sick and/or shorten the duration of illness. Below is a compilation of science-backed ways to boost your immune system….
If you’re like me, you grew up in a typical American household in which the answer to the question, “What’s for dinner?” was always some kind of meat — meatloaf, Parmesan chicken, roast beef. That’s because we are used to meals in which the meat is the star of the show and the sides are mere decoration. Just look at a restaurant menu if you don’t believe me.
