Fresh Brussels Sprouts

Delicata Squash

Catherine is from Kentucky.  Her family's traditional holiday menu is southern in nature: Baked Ham (brown sugar & pineapple glaze), Homemade Biscuits, Mac and Cheese (made with choice cheese by her husband), Roasted Brussels Sprouts (olive oil, lemon juice, toasted almonds, Parmesan cheese), Delicata Squash (baked with bell peppers, carrots, onions and slightly sweetened with maple syrup), Salad (baby arugula, blood orange sections, shaved fennel, pomegranate seeds, toasted almonds, vinaigrette dressing), and her family's "secret" recipe for Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Tart – oh my goodness!  By the way, her young kids love the Brussels sprouts and squash recipes.  It is time to start offering your kids a variety of vegetables.  Purchased fresh and made well is your key. Look for these and more recipes on Catherine's  website, www.weelicious.com.  To listen to Catherine's interview, please go to www.iTunes.com, then Podcast, then Better Food Choices – it is worth every minute of your time!

… for the health of your family,
