One of my favorite restaurants in NYC, Westville, has the best Brussel sprouts I have EVERY TASTED. In fact, sometimes I find myself dreaming of them. It’s almost necessary to get them at least a few times a year to satisfy my fix.
They sent an email this week on how to make them….this was like….Christmas for me.
I took some short cuts to lighten it up in calories. Turns out they taste exactly the same! I ate the whole bowl but…whatever. Here’s the recipe!
Ingredients:
1lb Brussel sprouts, washed and cut in half
5 tbsp. honey mustard (365 brand from whole foods)
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
salt and pepper
1 tbsp. minced garlic
Directions:
Boil water in a medium size pot. Add Brussel sprouts for 4 minutes. Drain and put in another bowl with cold water and ice for another 4 minutes (blanching and then soaking in ice bath will keep it that delicious shade of green.
While that’s happening mix the mustards and lemon juice together.
In same pot (why waste another) add 1 tbsp. vegetable oil. and cook garlic for a couple of minutes on medium high heat. Add brussel sprouts and let it get a little brown. Reduce to low and add mustard mix. You can toss them (gently) for a few minutes to get all of the sauce incorporated. Add salt and pepper.
Serve!

Serves 2 When you’re working from home or it’s the weekend a quick lunch is def necessary. But if you don’t have canned soup available (which i HATE with a passion) making a pot of soup is just NOT on the agenda….who has that kind …
Ramen noodles in a cup are often filled with sodium. It doesn’t FEEL healthy to be eating powdered food rehydrated by water. So…here’s the next best thing
Ingredients:
1 package of frozen ramen noodles (one pouch should be around 400kcal)
1, 16oz container of miso broth
1/2 16oz container of vegetable broth
1 tbsp. sriracha
2 cups spinach, fresh
1lb portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 scallion, chopped
2 eggs, poached
Directions:
First make the noodles according to package, set aside.
In same pot boil water. Add about 1 tsp vinegar and swirl so it makes a little whirlpool (with a spoon). Add the two eggs gently and let that cook 2 minutes. Remove with a spoon, gently, and add to a bowl. Set aside.
Heat a larger pot with the broths and let it get to a boiling point. Reduce to medium heat and add sriracha and spinach. Let it cook until spinach is wilted.
Spray a small non-stick skillet add mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook a few minutes on each side. You may need to do this twice.
Arrange two bowls. Put noodles in each bowl, add the scallions and mushrooms to each bowl. Add the hot broth on top. Top it with the egg.

This is really similar to my “Really Quick Ramen” soup. It’s quick and doesn’t require you to make the soup taste just right! There are packages of low sodium broth for that! Plus it tastes much fresher! Ingredients: 2 bundles of glass noodles (about 130kcal …

I don’t know about you, but when i’m healthy all week and on track with my goals the weekend may totally throw me off. And i don’t necessarily want it to but I do want to enjoy other foods with my family besides my egg white breakfast and whole grain bread lunch!
Making or ordering pancakes and waffles doesn’t have to be unhealthy! Read my tips below to enjoy life on the go 🙂
1/2 of a chocolate chip belgian waffle, or one large thin chocolate chip pancake will run you around 150kcal. That’s actually not a lot! The problem is that we eat more than this because, for obvious reasons, it’s just not enough food ( i mean who eats one pancake or 1/2 waffle?)
Keep the serving size but add these items!
2 poached eggs on top of 1/2 plain belgian waffle
1 cup plain greek yogurt on top of chocolate chip pancake with maple syrup and lots of berries (eat it with a knife and fork)
Spread almond butter on top of chocolate chip waffle
Add cottage cheese and fruit to a plain pancake
Nothing like some homemade fried fish! But who wants to get all messy? Not to mention i absolutely hate pouring oil into a pan to cook something. Each tablespoon of oil (which is the size of your thumb) is 120 calories. Why addddd more calories …
