Winter Fresh Slaw

For the past few weeks, all I have been craving is coleslaw.  Fresh, crunchy, and so easy to make.  However, I am not a fan of pre-made coleslaw dressing - it just tastes too sweet for me.  So, I like to make my own and control the amount of sugar in it.  But that doesn't mean I don't like some sweetness in my salad.  Pears are a beautiful, crisp, sweet addition to coleslaw.

Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts

I never tried Brussels sprouts until I was in my 20's, and only then because one of my best friends swore they were delicious.  Our parents never made us eat them growing up because my mom said that they tasted like bad breath.  Her words.  However, my friend was right; Brussels sprouts can be amazing!

Turkey and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Bell peppers are a staple in my fridge, usually consumed raw, well before I can even get around to cooking them.  But, if you load them up with protein and more delicious vegetables, you have a meal in a pepper.  I also like to have cooked quinoa in my fridge, ready to use for easy meals.
