The Advent Calendar of Good, and Bad, Holiday Eats: Day 7 - Brussels Sprouts

The pre-Christmas Day season of Advent is upon us. Here at SeedSing we love the chocolaty goodness of getting a piece of candy once a day until we get to open our presents. As our gift to you we will present a treat associated with the holiday season. Many will be awesome, some will be terrible. Enjoy.

Opened doors: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six

Day 7: Brussels Sprouts

The holiday season is filled with a bunch of sweet treats. Fatty foods, delicious candy, and tons of cookies are indulged on throughout the entire month of December. Oh, and pies, tons and tons of pies. It should be no surprise that so many of us have weight loss as a New Years resolution. The least we can do is try to eat something healthy, something green, this holiday season. There is no better healthy food for our holiday season than that of the brussels sprout.

Brussels sprouts are those little heads of cabbage that confuse every non-knowledgeable eater of food. Those tiny cabbage heads, along with their brothers and sisters on the stalk, are always receptive to some fine flavors. I can never do right about brussels sprouts with out the incomparable Ty to tell you how awesome they are. Read about it here. That should tell you why they are awesome, especially this holiday season.

We need to remember that the holidays may be filled with sweets and indulgence, but we need to balance all off that with something healthy. If you do not do it for yourself, at least set an example for your kids. Brussels sprouts are a nice green way to be healthy. It is even a bit nicer if we add some butter, cheese, and bacon to our grown up little indulgence.
