Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Brussels Sprouts
It’s nearly Christmas and I’m so excited! This time of year is my favourite, for the food, the family gatherings, the gift giving and the amazing atmosphere everywhere you go! This year I’m particularly excited as we’re hosting Christmas for some of our extended family, which means we’ve got about 14 people for Christmas dinner. For some this might sound like a nightmare, but for me, it’s just more excuse to test recipes and cook the perfect Christmas dinner! These Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Brussels Sprouts are my latest recipe in preparation for the big day!
Christmas on Slimming World
Christmas can be a daunting time of year if you’re slimming and often people fall off the wagon completely. Trust me, I’m not here to make you feel bad for doing so! What I am here to say is that no matter whether you’ve fallen off the wagon or you’re doing your best to stay on plan, there are some areas where you can up the health factor of your Christmas. Take this brussels sprouts recipe for example – if you’re on Slimming World you can cook it with Fry Light to make it syn free (so long as you top with lean bacon too!).
Everyone always goes on about how unhealthy Christmas dinner is, but if you ask me it’s actually not that bad! Turkey is a lean meat, roasties can be made Slimming World friendly (I’m famous for my roast potatoes and no one ever guesses that they’re syn free!), and you can pile your plate with loads of veggies! OK, so you’ve got the mince pies, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding and Christmas chocolate, but you can make some healthy adjustments in easy areas, like using this brussels sprouts recipe, to help mitigate the high sugar content of the rest of the day!
