It has been snowing here nonstop for over 24 hours and will keep snowing for an additional 24 hours… I have to say this is Spring time like I have never experienced before. I only wish this happened during the week and not during the weekend leaving me with a strong case of cabin fever!

Luckily I knew this storm was coming and stocked up on plenty of food to cook, keeping me occupied. While I have much more exciting foods to make than broccoli, I think the broccoli just might be the unsung hero of this snowy weekend.

Before I start baking excess amounts of cookies and sweets for Christmas time, I’m trying to eat as healthy as I can in hopes to offset all the sugar soon to be in my life. While I know eating healthy doesn’t exactly work like that, I like to think that thinking like this helps me eat more vegetables anyways. I also find it’s a lot easier to get your daily dose of vegetables when you have plenty around ready to eat. So for these reasons I decided to roast up a large batch of Brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red onions.

Look how beautiful all these vegetables are! I’m a big believer of the idea that the more color you have on your plate, the healthier you are eating. Since all these veggies are in season it means the you are also getting the freshest and best tasting varieties than if you were to buy them at different time of the year.
