Weekend

This past week was pretty stressful with long days at my foodservice rotation combined with class every night (vs usual 3 days a week) and my last metabolism exam. Needless to say, yoga was necessary on Saturday [definitely feeling all of those chaturangas today].

After, I stopped for juice + raw rolls with a friend. I thought it was really funny that the woman at the counter kept trying to explain all of the benefits of wheat grass to me. Preachin? to the choir, there, ma?am.

For some reason, I decided to buy Brussels sprouts at Soulard this weekend even though I don?t really like them. But?I think they might be growing on me. Doesn?t hurt that they have an excellent nutritional profile.

1 cup Brussels sprouts (cooked):

Consume at least 3-5 servings (1 cup = 1 serving) of cruciferous vegetables (also including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale?to name a few) per week to decrease cancer risk.

I roasted the Brussels with a little olive oil, salt & pepper, and 1 clove of garlic at 400 F for 10-15 min. Pretty good. Any other fave ways to prepare Brussels sprouts?

What did you do this weekend? I have never appreciated weekends as much I do right now. Foodservice is exhausting, and I?m really excited for my pediatric nutrition specialty rotation after this week.

Tomorrow, I?m doing some nutrition counseling with a couple medical students from SLU and also have my last final of the semester!

I?m off to go find some study motivation [or maybe go running instead].
