Bacon and Goat Cheese Brussels Sprouts + Post-Holiday Detox

Anyone else feeling extra sluggish today? I definitely am. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have the next week off. My holiday break consisted of LOTS of driving and eating, which was completely out of the norm for me. We visited Ryan’s family in NW Texas from Saturday through Christmas morning, then hightailed it back to Austin on to have dinner with my family. It’s been a whirlwind, and now it’s time to get back to the routine.

I was REALLY worried about losing grip on my good habits while we were out of town, but we made conscious decisions to keep up with ourselves and not fall out of step. I tracked my food consistently with the exception of Christmas dinner and tried to keep my macros close to the proportions that I’ve been sticking to. I wasn’t perfect, but that’s okay.

Chicken Sausage and Brussels Sprouts

I never thought I liked Brussels Sprouts until I cooked this. They just sounded gross to me, but I was way wrong. This is paleo-friendly, quick, easy, and yummy.

Make it a Full Meal
I serve this with any quinoa side dish, like my Creole-Seasoned Quinoa and Kale. If you want to add more veggies, serve it over spinach (wilted with some garlic and olive oil, if you’d like).
