Brussel Sprout Addict

Sorry for the delay in the recap post, guys! It's been a busy few days over here!

But first and foremost, lunch! I was in the mood for veggies today for lunch, so I decided to try my hand at a homemade veggie wrap! I cut up a bunch of cucumber, carrots, and red bell peppers, layered them on a Flat Out Wrap with a smear of hummus and wrapped it all up! It was really delicious and I have to remember to keep tons of fresh veggies in the house more often so I can replicate it. I ate my wrap with a side of almonds for some added healthy fats :)

Stackin' the veggies!
All rolled up!


















My Saint Patrick's Day dinner went off without a hitch and my friends really enjoyed their meals. The stew was awesome. The flavors of the leeks and thyme really came through and the meat was incredibly tender and juicy.  On the side of the stew, I made some mashed potatoes for my guests and a heaping serving of brussel sprouts for me. I have a confession to make: My name is Christina. And I am a brussel sprout addict. I am considering going to rehab. And it's odd because when I was seven, you couldn't show me a brussel sprout without me gagging (sorry mom). It's funny how tastes change huh?



Enjoying their stew :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday! Be back soon with more adventures in Christina-land!

Have you ever thrown a dinner party? What did you make?
