About me

Welcome to my blog!
My name is Monique, I am 24 and I just graduated college.
I am currently embarking on a health journey which includes me changing the way I eat.

I am not a professional cook or a nutritionist  but I am trying to make changes in my life to be healthy and I would like to share the food portion of it with you.
I know sometimes I feel lost in the kitchen or grocery store with no idea what to cook, the first thing I do is get inspiration from Pinterest.
I decided to share some of the things I make, in hopes to help inspire some of you.

If you like simple food and are interested in pictures and recipes please stick around. 
My first post will be coming soon.

roasted brussel sprouts

This is my roasted brussel sprout recipe, as simple as it is I found that I had to make brussel sprouts a few times before I finally found a recipe that I liked.  My first tip is to start with fresh Brussel sprouts instead of frozen, in my experience the frozen kind usually end up soggy.  After rinsing the Brussel sprouts I cut them in half and lay them all on my baking sheet.  First i drizzle them with olive oil so that all my seasoning sticks to them . Then i sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper. Last I  add a few shakes of soy sauce and toss them around. Before putting them into the oven I make sure that they are all flat side down.  Bake them at 420 for about 22 minutes. The finished product is illustrated above, crispy savory Brussel sprouts.
