]]>Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts
The majority of Brussels sprouts recipes on Instagram are shared by vegan bloggers, but not this one. Rachel Maser is encouraging Brussels sprouts fans to make a super-fun appetizer by wrapping their favorite veggies with some delicious bacon.
Weekend Game Day Snack Ideas coming at ya! 
. Are you a Brussels sprouts fan? I wasn't until 6 or 7 years ago…now I ABSOLUTELY love them and eat them many times each week! Note: There are many high quality bacon options available these days. Look for nitrate free, and humanly raised if possible. We eat bacon a few times each month at our house because it's something we (REALLY) enjoy! makes 10-12 snack size servings Ingredients: 1 lb. Brussels sprouts (choose larger ones if possible) 12 oz. thin sliced nitrate free bacon 2 tsps sea salt Instructions: Wash the Brussels sprouts under cold running water, trim the ends and remove any yellow leaves. Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add salt, and wait a few minutes for the water to boil. Carefully add in the sprouts and boil for 3-4 minutes or until just tender and bright green. Once the sprouts are done, remove from the heat and drain well. Allow them to cool until easy to handle. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place a Brussels sprout at the top of a piece of bacon and roll up around so that it evenly wraps the sprout, depending on the size of your sprouts, you may want to only use half a slice of bacon for each. Repeat until finished with all the sprouts and bacon, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, with the seam side down. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bacon is golden crisp. Remove from the oven and place on a paper towel lined plate, to drain any excess grease. Serve immediately and enjoy! You can store the wrapped-pieces in an air-tight container for up to 3 days and reheat just before serving.

Brussels Sprouts Gnocchi

. I always wondered how so many of my patients could feel totally “fine” going days on end without eating a vegetable. I’m talking, not even a slice of tomato or lettuce on a sandwich. If I go a few days without some leafy greens or even just a tiny pop of color on my plate my body is FEELING it. I usually feel less energized, haven’t had a proper 
, and don’t feel as satisfied at meals. If I spend a few days eating out or I’m enjoying new foods on vacation my body will soon speak up, LOUDLY that it needs veggies. 
. What I’ve come to understand is that for so many people, when having daily veggies isn’t part of the routine, they don’t actually KNOW what it feels like to have that added boost of fiber and nutrients. Their body hasn’t yet learned to feel truly GREAT and crave vegetables more often. It’s not your fault, and nobody is a “bad” person for this, it’s just the habit you’ve gotten into! . We all know veggies are healthy, but until we start to include more of them, and in truly DELICIOUS ways, we won’t get that craving or understand our body’s signal to fill up on a plate of greens! . My body was DEFINITELY speaking up for veggies this week, so this fun fall kale salad has been on repeat for lunch. No chewy kale here 
, this salad is massaged with olive oil and tahini and loaded up with chickpeas, wild rice, toasted walnuts, and grapes (plus some feta that I added on later). . If you’re looking for ways to ADD veggies to your diet so you can feel your BEST, give this salad a try. It’s one simple way to start feeling amazing

]]>Lima Beans
Lima beans are among the most popular high-fiber foods. They are very versatile and you can cook these beans in so many ways. Whenever you need a side to your dish, the first thing you should think of is Lima beans.
Artichokes
Artichoke is the vegetable with the highest content of fiber of all. To some, artichokes are the least-favorite choice. But if you cook them properly, with just enough spices, you will change your mind.
Pears
Pears are the perfect fruit for so many reasons. They are not only packed with fiber but also protein, omega-3 and much more. You can have them as a snack, or add some honey and nuts for the most delicious dessert.
Brown Rice
Brown rice is the healthier alternative to white, with a higher fiber content. It’s really not a surprise that everyone is obsessed with it.
