Grandma says to eat your brussels sprouts. Most people think of these vegetables as something they had to eat when they were young, boiled with no seasonings and force fed by their grandmothers. It is not a surprise that most people have such bad feelings towards these nutrient dense vegetables.

Finally this vegetable is the back and is the new trend to be on most restaurant menus. Thanks to chefs who figured out amazing ways to cook up these mini-cabbages and thanks to doctors, nutritionist and researchers who added them to the top of the superfoods list.

Roasted Squash with Lemon-Tahini Sauce

November 07, 2013 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

There is a large variety of beautiful squash to choose from during this wonderful season. They range in all different shapes, colors, and sizes and most importantly ways to eat! No offense to zucchini or summer squash, but the health benefits of fall-harvest squashes far surpas their summer friends.

Like all members of the gourd family (pumpkin, melon, and cucumber), squash is technically a fruit because it contains seeds. Cut into its pale, yellow-beige hard skin, though, and you'll discover a vibrant flesh that's much denser than that of its relatives. Many of the winter squash have thin edible skin, which not only lessens your prep time, but adds a nutrient boost.
