Great things come in small packages

I’m talking about Brussels sprouts.

I LOVE Brussels sprouts! But sadly, they get a very bad wrap on being one of the most hated vegetables. Sad.
I admit that I didn’t eat them when I was a kid. And not until I was in my twenties is when I started to steam them and gobble them up. Today, it is one of our (my husband and I) most loved veggies! Small, cute, compact and full of great flavor! I enjoy them steamed and plain- nothing else. They also pack a full punch of vitamin K and C, as well as other important nutrients that we need on a daily basis. Check them out!

In honor of my sprout love, I featured them in today’s lunch.

I also made a chicken, spinach wrap.

  • Flatout wrap
  • hummus
  • feta
  • spinach leaves
  • red bell pepper
  • chicken breast chunks
  • s & p

Healthy eating!

    Roasting is totally my favorite way to eat them. I LOVE brussels as well.Cut in half, tossed with Olive oil and lots of salt and pepper and roasted at 425 until brown. So delicious!

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.

Let’s connect
