Healthy Recipe: Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Walnuts
One vegetable delight of Autumn is the Brussels sprout. These small leafy balls are packed with fiber as well as taste, and they deserve a place at your Thanksgiving table.
My favorite method of cooking Brussels sprouts is to roast them.
All About Bread: Whole Wheat, Whole Grain, and Sprouted
I'm sure most of us couldn't imagine a life without bread: sandwiches, toast, bread baskets, bread bowls, and so forth. It is an integral part of our food culture and seems to be a major player in every meal. However, with the rise of low carb diets, the concept of "good carbs" and "bad carbs," plus the new offerings of "whole wheat" everything, it's easy to get confused about which breads are healthy and which are not.

For the Love of Broccoli
My little one last night asked me to make Brussels sprouts and then proceeded to eat three helpings. This photo is from her early days as a veggie lover. And yes, after the photo was taken we had the "don't take such big bites of your food you could choke" converstaion.
It's a Wrap
I always like to have good tortillas on hand; with them I can turn virtually any combination of ingredients into a fun and easy meal.
Today I combined steamed zucchini, avocado, cherry tomatoes, hummus, and cilantro in side of an Ezekiel Sprouted Grain tortilla. I pictured it open-faced as well so you can get an idea of what was inside.
Thai Chicken Pizza from Rachel Ray
I love Thai inspired foods and pizza. So when I came across this pizza I just had to try it. I'd found a pizza similar in idea from a sandwhich shop where I grew up, but haven't seen anything like it since.Sesame Street still Big Bird’s nest after 40 years
Not really news... but it's big. And probably one of the better kids shows on the air today.White House's unique trick or treat
*On a more personal note, I know some people that were involved in the White House entertainment. Chicago's Redmoon theater company was hired to provide entertainment on the lawn (the skeleton band and bubble installation amongst others). I've included some pictures at the end of the post.*
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday doled out presidential M&Ms and dried fruit mixes to more than 2,000 trick-or-treaters, marking their Halloween at a White House event partly aimed at honoring military families.

Avocado and Yams on Sprouted Bread
This may seem like an odd combination, but it is my new breakfast favorite.
It's a piece of toasted Ezekiel Sprouted Sesame Bread (read about sprouted bread in the All About Bread post). Then I add a bit of organic coconut oil which adds a sweet, buttery flavor.
