I have been all about Brussel sprouts lately. First it was the maple glazed Brussel sprouts. Then the honey balsamic Brussel sprouts. Now it’s the Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette. This might just be my new favorite salad.

Vegan Alfredo Zucchini Pasta
Vegan Alfredo Zucchini Pasta. I know I have said on more than one occasion how much I love my spiralizer
I love being about to make low carb versions of pasta dishes. My kids also love their carrot ribbons. Something about the shape of a veggie makes it more appealing?
At least with my kiddos. I have already come up with my Avocado Pesto Zucchini Pasta and this Alfredo Zucchini Pasta is my latest creation.
This is not only low carb, but gluten free, dairy free and vegan as well!
Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup (Vegan)
Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup. Cauliflower is just one of those things I don’t do enough with. It is so healthy and I really want to try and incorporate more into my diet.
One of my favorite things to make with cauliflower is cauliflower popcorn. Now was about time to make a cauliflower soup. The cauliflower adds a nice creamy texture without adding a lot of calories.
This creamy cauliflower soup will warm you up on a cold day. We have actually had quite a few of those lately here in Dallas. This creamy cauliflower potato soup is very easy to make as well.
Honey Balsamic Brussel Sprouts
I used to hate brussel sprouts. I didn’t just hate, I seriously loathed brussel sprouts. So one day I made some Maple Glazed Brussel Sprouts and they were amazing! So good that I ate the entire tray of brussel sprouts by myself. This brussel sprout hater had been conformed! So once I got the taste for roasted brussel sprouts, I decided to try new roasted brussel sprouts recipes. This is just another roasted brussel sprouts variation.
Maple Glazed Brussel Sprouts
I am not too picky when it comes to vegetables, but the one I never seemed to like was brussel sprouts. I had tried them many ways with no luck. So when my friend Judith over at The Midnight Baker told me she had a great recipe, I decided to give them another shot. This Maple Glazed Brussel Sprouts recipe was so good that I could not stop eating them. I am a believer for sure now.
These are amazing. Even my husband could not stop eating them. This will become a staple in our house for sure. This recipe is almost as addicting as my Cauliflower Popcorn.

Smoky Sweet Potato Fries (Vegan & Gluten Free)
These Smoky Sweet Potato Fries are awesome. I used to think that french fries were off limits once I started eating better, but it turns out that’s not the case.
I already have a Healthy French Fry recipe on the blog. I love sweet potatoes and I really wanted to make some french fries with them. Well today I made these sweet potato french fries, and they were amazing!
This sweet potato french fry recipe is really simple to make. The smoky flavor of the chili powder and the smoked paprika really goes well with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. This recipe would go great with my veggie burgers.
I loved dipping them into my Homemade Ketchup. Needless to say, the entire tray was gone in minutes. My picky, older daughter loved them! This made me very happy because she says she doesn’t like sweet potatoes.
