Clementines In Brussels

Hey there mountain mamas!

[Currently listening to this version of Country Roads!! Found this guy on You Tube when searching for Daydream, which he also plays amazingly well!]

Grocery shopping was a blast. I really love it and wish I had a million dollars and a million-dollar appetite so I could try every product in the stores! We went to Trader Joe’s, then EarthFare and came home with our turkey and a stuffed fridge of delicious ingredients!

We arrived home at 12 and quickly put everything away, laced up our sneakers and biked to the gym for a couple’s workout. I did 26 minutes on the Stairmaster (Matt joined me for 20 of those) and a few sets of pushups, which have gotten surprisingly easier – perhaps thanks to chatarangas and my more frequent hot yoga visits?

We got home at 2PM and picked up my car, which I had sent in to get inspected but came out with a $500 bill and radiator leak 👿 She’s all fixed now though.

I prepared a batch of maple roasted brussels sprouts to take to Kelsey + Eric’s Thanksgiving Party this afternoon. Beauties!

I roasted ’em in the oven at 400* for 26 minutes after tossing in about 2 tbsp maple, cooking spray and a hefty dose of salt and pepper. Hope they are still good in 2 hours!

IMG_9307 

Did some more cleaning – our house is truly sparkling these days!! – and then finally had a little bit to eat at 3PM! I don’t know if it was the 9-grain mix or the portion size, but that breakfast held me over allllllll day with zero phases of hunger.

For lunch I had a salad with romaine + spinach + almonds + raisins + balsamic

Plus some POM water. This is the nectarine flavored kind. I’m not as fond of this one as I was with the kiwi, and the original is still my favorite.

Two slices of leftover pizza

And two clementines!

So excited to have a bowl of these! LOVE them and found them pretty cheap at TJs

Off to par-tay!

    Beautiful post as always. I have a question. I have never eaten much sodium, and I can honestly say (because I am very aware of what I eat) that most meals have no added sodium or very low sodium. I bought some soy burgers I would like to try that have 350 mg sodium in one patty. If I eat this at lunch tommorow , will it cause me to bloat unreasonably since I am not used to it? Or is that not a large amount to worry about? Thanks Kath. I trust your opinion.

    I just bought gigantic brussels from the farmer’s market today. Thanks for the awesome recipe idea!!

    I also love Country Road – it reminds me of a friend’s wedding (who live in West VIrginia) and it was a major crowd pleaser. Complete with serious boot stomping!

    I’d never had brussel sprouts until my husband and I went to Charleston on our honeymoon and ate them in a restaurant and LOVED them. Two years later I finally cooked them at home and discovered that I really do like them, but it’s all in the preparation.

    Have fun at the party!

    Maple-roasted anything sounds delicious. What a beautiful bowl of clementines! Sometimes, I forget that citrus is winter fruit 🙂 Have fun at the party!

    Just love your abundance of Clementines. I found some organic ones on sale a few days ago and stocked up! They are so good for breakfast in the mornings OR with a simple salad lunch.

    Beautiful centerpiece. Clementines are a favorite of mine as well, but I don’t think I could eat that many! I could eat that many apples though! Enjoy the partay. And no one can party like a sprout!

    Carrie,
    It’s really impossible for me to predict what your body will do, but 350mg isn’t’ that much sodium. I think something like 10-20% of the worlds population is sodium sensitive, so perhaps you aren’t even one of them. Give it a try and see how you feel and then you’ll know 🙂

    Sam,
    Hope you got some great bread!

    I got the same brussels! I was so excited, I had never seen them on the stalk like that before! No one was quite as amused as I was, and decided to make fun of me by using it as a center piece haha. But no one was laughing when I roasted them with balsamic, cranberries, and a touch of maple syrup. Yum!
