Dear Blog-ary,
Recipe: Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients:
| 1 lb of Brussels sprouts
3 tbsp of olive oil |
¼ cup walnuts or slivered almonds or roasted pine nuts
¼ cup mushrooms - optional |
Preparations:
Preheat oven at 400 degrees.
Trim the hard ends and take any loose or yellowed leaves off the Brussels sprouts. Make a small cross in the bottom of each end.
Keep all uniform in size (cut large sprouts in half). Place them in a medium bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss lightly with pepper, nuts and mushrooms.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place in the oven and bake until lightly browned (approximately 30 minutes).
Serve hot.
Recipe: Vegan Whipped Cashew Coconut Cream
Say goodbye to fibre-less and saturated fat dairy! When using this whipping cream substitute, you'll get protein with your dessert to help minimize your insulin spike and the stress you put on your digestive system.
It requires some planning as you must soak the cashews for at least 8 hours. I've also put the leftover whipping cream in a glass container and froze it to use at a later date. It freezes well.
