Festive AF Shaved Brussel Salad
Happy HUMPDAY!! We're officially less than two weeks out from Christmas, so of course my mind is on some healthy recipes for you all to bring with and force your fams to get in their greens! More specifically, get in a delicious brussel sprout salad. I love this dish because it's healthy but also gives people a bit of indulgence with the Turkey Bacon in the mix. I'm always the culprit of either bringing along my own healthy side dish and/or a healthy dessert. If you're still looking for a good dessert, try these cookies - they're killer! This way, if you...

Take a stab at what my favorite veggie is and I bet you'll get it right. If you guessed roasted carrots -you're right! Something about the sweetness in carrots when they're roasted and a bit charred on the outside - perfection!
