Most people I know have a love/hate relationship with asparagus. I am on the love side of the fence and am amazed with its nutritional benefits.
Touted as one of the world’s healthiest foods, asparagus is a great source of:
- Vitamin K – helps prevent heart disease and improves blood clotting)
- Copper – increases the body’s absorption of Iron
- Folate/Vitamin B9 – encourages cell and tissue growth
- Selenium – good for heart health, blood flow and reduces free radical oxidative stress
- Vitamin B2 – aids body in producing red blood cells and converting food into energy
- Vitamin C – an antioxidant that also helps the body form and maintain healthy skin and bones
- Vitamin E – helps reduce damage from free radicals
Asparagus also is contains Fiber, Manganese, Phosphorus, Niacin, Potassium, Choline, Zinc, Iron, Protein, Vitamin A & B6, and Pantothenic Acid, which helps the body convert food into energy.

I always loved the idea of Brussels Sprouts with their complex and complete nutritional profile. I never really liked the taste of them, so I made it a mission to make them more palatable.
The recipe I created is a great option for those on both sides of the Brussels Sprouts debate.
ENJOY!

I have been experimenting with creating a creamy and delicious mac and cheese sauce and after a dozen attempts I finally think I nailed it!
This is a hearty dinner and makes enough to serve 8 average servings or 6 large servings. It also heats up great the next day for leftovers. I would recommend adding a bit more non-dairy milk to keep it creamy.
In this recipe I used Ripple Original, Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk. Any non-dairy option would work but this is preferred because it is super rich tasting.
ENJOY!
