Hey friends! I know, I know…long time, no see. As you must have guessed, life has been PRETTY busy. That being said, I’ve never forgotten about ya’ll, and think about posting on the blog almost daily. Aside from all of the things that consume my day as I learn the ropes of true “adulting,” the main obstacle I have faced when wanting to post on here is that I have absolutely zero new pictures of the food I have been creating lately. My handy-dandy camera has been stashed in the back of my car, and, well, hasn’t moved in months. It’s not that I don’t WANT to take pictures of my food, it’s just that it seems like there is no time. Today, however, as I am stuck home due to my car being in the shop, I decided I had no excuse but to sit down, give myself a half of a hour, and quickly share one of the many favored recipes I have made for my meal prep service (A Clean Slate LLC). As a chef, I am creating atleast 3-5 new recipes a week. The problem is, most of them are stored in the amazing file box that is my brain, hardly ever making it down on paper. For this reason, the amounts for mixing this recipe are not exact. Instead, I need ya’ll to channel your inner chef and use your sight and taste to determine the best consistency of the slaw. Overall, it truly is such a simple recipe. With a homemade honey mustard dressing, a little black pepper, slivered almonds, and brussel sprouts easily shredded in your food processor, this slaw couldn’t come together any quicker. If you are not so sure about brussel sprouts, especially RAW brussels, this recipe has been known to convert many folks who thought they would never touch (let a lone love), a brussel sprout again. So go ahead, channel your inner chef and enjoy this light, refreshing, yet very satisfying dish.
