It is another great Monday and another amazing edition of Fruits and Veggies Monday challenge created by my even more amazing friend @lenasveganliving. It is a fun way to learn more about the world of veganism and about recipes to add to your diet. Especially since every week, we see so many amazing submissions and recipes to try out ourselves. I would not like to be in the place of judges every week and trying to pick between amazing submissions every week. Not an easy task at all. So good luck to the judges and all the participants this week. :)

Like always before we start cooking turn on some music and enjoy yourself. Cooking is fun, and it can be very simple, and delicious at the same time. My choice of music today is U2- With or Without You.

Brussels sprouts quick and amazing recipe

Ingredients

• Brussel Sprouts
• 2 white potatoes
• 1 or 2 pieces of garlic
• Half of the onion
• 2 Carrots
• Parsley

Spices - Himalayan Salt, Curry, Paprika, Olive Oil, Rosemary, Pepper.

Just like always experiment with the recipe and add the ingredients and spices you like. Have fun with it. Make it your own. 😃

This is one of my favorite quick meals when I need a great meal full of pretty much everything. Brussel sprouts are incredibly healthy vegetables. Sometimes I add little rice on top of this all, but today this recipe is without rice. This dish is full of antioxidants, protein, and carbohydrates. Basically, all your body needs on daily basis.

Preparation

Start by boiling the water. Cut the potatoes and carrots into desired pieces. Put them in the water on medium heat and let it cook for a while. It should take about 5-10 minutes until water starts boiling. In the meanwhile cut half of the onion, garlic, and parsley into as tiny pieces as possible. Clean the Brussel sprouts, and cut each of them into four pieces.

When the water with carrots and potatoes starts boiling add the Brussel sprouts to the water. I usually cook them for only 5-7 min. In between those 5 minutes add the onions, parsley, and garlic in the separate bowl and pour a good amount of olive on top. Add the spices, and mix them well together for about a minute. Just let it sit there until potatoes, carrots and Brussel sprouts are done. Relax and listen to some music.

Finishing It Up

After the potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts are done place them in into a drainer, and put them over the mixture, but don't mix it all up. Let it sit on top of the mixture for about 5 minutes so the heat from the potatoes and the rest cook the onion and garlic a little bit so they lose their strong taste. After about 5 minutes mix it all well for about 1 min. You are DONE, and your dish is ready to be served. Easy right? It should look something like this:

After the lunch I had one of the best nature desserts out there called Strawberries. They actually tasted like they looked and that is delicious. 🍓🍓

Invest Time In Your Health

Who said cooking is hard and complicated? I think cooking can be delicious, quick, and most importantly healthy. I think people today little overcomplicate cooking. All you need is some imagination and good ingredients. Don't over salt or burn the dish and you are golden. I think this dish is a great example of it. It is simple, cost-effective, delicious, healthy, and easy to make. It does not get much better than this for me.

Invest in your health my friends, and take care of your body. It is TRULY the only place you really have to live in. Be your own "doctor". And, it starts with what is on your plate every day. We only have this one body. Let's take care of it one meal at the time.

Thank you for reading, have an amazing day, much love,
