This is one of my family’s favorite summertime snacks. I absolutely love it for its speed and health benefits. My husband and kids devour them so quickly I never can buy quite enough. They are a little smoky, salty and bright treat that is good any time of...
Quick and Delicious Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Quick and Delicious Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Brunch, Dinners, Family Recipes, Gluten free, Kid meals, Lunch, Vegan, Vegetarian

These Brussels sprouts couldn’t be easier. I have seen pre-shaved Brussels in stores which would make this about a 6 minute dish. One cup of Brussels sprouts contains 3g of fiber, 3g of protein, calcium, iron and potassium. This paired beautifully with a simple...
