Spicy Broccoli with Cumin

After a 4-week hiatus, I give you this healthy broccoli recipe. I wish I could say that I’ve kicked my sugar addiction and the focus of this blog will now be classic healthy recipes, but that might as well be an early April fools joke. I have plenty of decadent desserts and sweet recipes in the pipeline! I will continue to throw in a healthy recipe or two, especially as the weather gets warmer and we begin to think about squeezing into that bathing suit again. This Spicy Cumin Scented Broccoli recipe is a great way to change-up that boring green vegetable routine but still keep it healthy.

Huevos Rancheros

Brunch has become my favorite meal. With so many options of sweet and savory breakfast and lunch foods, what’s not to like? A Mimosa or Bloody Mary doesn’t hurt either. Huevos Rancheros seems to be popping up on brunch menus all over the country. These “rancher’s eggs,” as name translates to in English, are a twist on a rural Mexican farm dish that’s both hearty and delicious.

Honey Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pecans

Brussel sprouts have always seemed like a vegetable for adults. Even though I actually enjoyed eating all kinds of vegetables while growing up (beets and lima beans were odd favorites of mine), I don’t recall eating them as a child. These mini cabbage-like healthful buds have also increased in popularity over the years. But like most cabbage and other stinky vegetables, they aren’t particularly appealing to children. The trick is to add a touch of sweetness. The caramelization in these honey roasted brussel sprouts make them enticing for both children and adults alike.

Balsamic Braised Cabbage and Apples

Balsamic Braised Cabbage

Cabbage tends to have a bad reputation. The semi-pungent leafy vegetable has many different recipe applications and seems to be gaining popularity despite the negative stereo-types that surround it. Most of this newly found popularity comes from recent trends in fermentation, particularly Korean food such as kimchi. I still find cabbage a bit daunting. Its extra-large leafy head often looks like enough to feed a small army. Some grocery stores manage to sell halves instead of whole heads, which I’ve found helps this issue. But the best way to conquer cabbage is to find a handful of delicious recipes that make the infamous smell less…well…stinky. Sweet balsamic vinegar and fall’s favorite fruit rescue cabbage in this braised dish. It’s sure to top your list of best cabbage recipes, or at least your list of cabbage recipes worth repeating (most of us might not have a “best recipe list” for cabbage yet).
