The Healthiest - and Quite Delicious - Food

Do you torture yourself and your family serving steamed vegetables?

Please stop.

The food police would have you think that the only way to benefit from vegetables is to eat them steamed, without oil, salt, or flavors.  This is ludicrous, especially since most people will not eat them! No wonder - steaming does NOTHING to coax flavor from a vegetable; indeed, it only serves to further alienate people from switching away from fast food to this healthier choice.

What's the alternative?

Roasting! Everything tastes better roasted, with the possible exception of ice cream.

Brussels sprouts are in the cabbage family, and have been shown to pack one heck of a punch in the fight against many cancers.  They are very low in calories, and absolutely delicious if prepared well.  The preparation is, in fact, extremely easy.  After washing and removing any old leaves, cut the little cabbages in half, and saute in olive oil with some salt and pepper and minced garlic until golden brown.  Drizzle a tad of balsamic vinegar or a spritz of lemon juice, and you have a feast that is not only healthy and delicious, but still low in calories, despite the addition of the olive oil.  The recipe can be adjusted to taste by adding bits of bacon, or grilled in the oven by brushing the baby cabbages with the olive oil instead.  Either way, you must try this magic vegetable!
