Smashed Crispy Crusted Brussels Sprouts

Love a good Brussels sprout salad? Then you have hit the jackpot! The best part is, you can shred Brussels sprouts and stash them in your fridge for at least a week. Cook those walnuts and shallots ahead of time, too!

The Ultimate Broccoli and Cheddar Soup

I love a good broccoli and cheddar soup, especially with a delicious aged white cheddar. This soup is the ultimate comfort food for those cold fall and winter nights. Serve it with a delicious biscuit or thick crusty bread.

Blueberry Pie Oat Bars

I really do love anything blueberry but especially when they come guilt free.  These decadent blues are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious.  They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries for the blueberries.
