Healthy Prep for the Holidays!

The holiday season is a season that people seem to fall off track with their nutrition.. they go for the cookies, rather than the healthier dishes and snacks.  I won’t lie, I am guilty of it too at times! But for the most part, I love cooking up some healthier versions of dishes so I do not feel guilty and bloated at the end of the day! I found my new love for brussel sprouts by making sweet chili brussel sprouts!

I went out and got some Brussel spouts to prepare a dish for our holiday meal! If you have read any of my blog posts before, I am a HUGE fan of spice! So these bad boys are gonna be a little sweet and a little spicy!!
