Sunshine’s Macro Monday: A Cruciferous Christmas

Inspired by Sunshine’s Macro Monday #22
One of the many memorable parts of spending Christmas 2019 at my daughter’s home was her amazing cooking and baking.

The menu: extensive (even included a cheese course!).

The vegetables: fresh…and, in this case…the nutritional powerhouse cruciferous variety.

I decided to document.

The roasted Brussels sprouts (along with cousin cauliflower) were seasoned to perfection and enjoyed by all.

 

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Connections

This post inspired by Frank at Dutch goes the Photo

The prompt: Connections

The often under appreciated member of the cruciferous vegetable family deserves some attention.

Not a colorful clump like its broccoli and brussels sprout cousins, it doesn’t stand out…or appear on many food magazine covers.

Don’t be fooled though…
Cauliflower is chock full of crunchy connections.
And vitamins and minerals and antioxidants oh my!
