No Boring Veggies! {How To Roast And Season Veggies}
Anybody ever had some poorly cooked and very sad broccoli that wasn’t worth eating? Yup. Me too. But it’s still one of my favorite veggies! Sometimes it’s not actually the food itself we don’t like.

#MacroFriendlyMonday18 — #MuscleMash!
#MuscleMash! This one is definitely #StrangeButGood! All credit to @tballard50 for inspiring the newest iteration of the #MacroMicroBowl.

Smokey Chipotle Citrus Crockpot Carnitas! {Macro Friendly Mondays #2}
#MacroFriendlyMonday2 — Smokey Chipotle Citrus Crockpot Carnitas! I used the carnitas in my usual #MacroMicroBowl lunch (pictured above).

Instead of using…
Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Kid, husband, and foodie approved roasted Brussels sprouts! I firmly believe that cooking vegetables is more about the right method and seasoning than anything else. For Thanksgiving this year I went with my tried-and-true method for most of my roasted vegetables (like this asparagus), but I swapped things up and made Brussels sprouts per my…
Crispy Broccoli Slaw
