Stay Healthy Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Hi Readers!!!!

Brussel Sprouts have never tasted soooooo good!!!! My Mom used to fix brussel sprouts for me when I was small and I have fond memories of these small cabbage looking cruciferous vegetables. I have modified the recipe by roasting them which provides a remarkable crunchy outer texture and delicious soft center. The key benefits of brussel sprouts include anti-cancer properties due to their high phytochemical content. They are also high in fiber, are a good source of folate, vitamin C, and iron. Let's get to the kitchen and cook up this power packed side of sprouts tonight!!!!

STAY HEALTHY ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS

1 lb Brussel Sprouts

3 Tblsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Johnnys Garlic Spread & Seasoning (or spices that you like...pepper, oregano, thyme, basil..just to name a few)

Heat oven to 375 degrees

Prepare a cookie sheet by covering with aluminum foil (easy clean up)

Wash, drain and cut the stem ends off all the Brussel Sprouts

Place Olive Oil in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tblsp seasoning (or spice of your liking), mix together like a salad dressing

Roll each brussel sprout in oil mixture and place on the cookie sheet

Do not waste the sprout leaves that have separated, coat those and place on the sheet for a crunchy treat

Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the outer shell is nicely browned

Remove and Enjoy!!!!!!

Stay Healthy!!!!

Stay Healthy Turkey Tostada...So Simple and So Good!!!

Stay Healthy Turkey Tostada

Hi Readers!!!!

I demonstrated the Stay Healthy Tostada with a live video in an earlier blog. I hope you were able to watch and see how simple and fun this meal is to make. I guarantee that this will become one of your new favorites and the fabulous thing about this tasty treat is that you can truly make it your own by adding the healthy toppings you enjoy. So let's go and get busy in the kitchen....

Stay Healthy Turkey Tostada

1/2 lb ground lean turkey tostada
1 can fat free refried beans or whole pinto beans

1 jar of your favorite salsa

Crushed red pepper

1 jar jalapenos (your heat preference)

Taco seasoning

1 small bag shredded cabbage

1 avocado, diced

1 small sweet onion, diced

1 tomato, diced

Fat Free Sour Cream

Flat Out Wrap (whole grain)

Heat skillet and spray with Pam or nonstick spray, add some of the diced onions and cook until translucent. Add turkey meat to the onion and crushed red pepper to your taste preference. Mix the meat, onion, and pepper with a fork. Add the taco seasoning mix to spice preference, and 1/4 cup salsa. Continue to cook the turkey meat with the added ingredients until done. In a separate pan, heat beans on low adding a small amount of taco seasoning or salsa to taste.

Heat griddle and place 2 Flat Out Wraps cooking until brown and crispy (careful not to overcook as they will break on you).

Toppings:

Shredded Cabbage

Diced Tomatoes

Diced Sweet Onion or Red Onion (your preference)

Diced Avocados

Fat Free Sour Cream

Putting it Together:

Spread a layer of beans onto the crispy Flat Out Wrap, add a bit of turkey meat, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, onion, avocado, jalapenos and sour cream. You are ready to enjoy a healthy meal that is so good for you and tastes sooooo good as well.

Stay Healthy!!!!
