Caramelized Brussels sprouts with soy, ginger, garlic and Hoisin are so sweet, savory and sticky goodness
A quick gut love corner 💚
I promised a tiny bit of nerdy, so here we go.
Brussels sprouts and root veg are:
High in fibre, which your gut microbes feed on, helping them stay happy and diverse
Part of the brassica family (sprouts) or earthy roots like carrots, parsnips and celeriac, which bring a mix of fibres and plant compounds that help support your gut lining
Naturally filling and satisfying, so you can load half your plate with veg and still feel like you had a cosy meal, not a sad salad
In plain English, all that fibre and those plant compounds help keep things moving, support a healthier gut for your microbes, and can be surprisingly comforting on a cold December evening.

If you’re new here, Sundays in our house are when I quietly set myself up for the week ahead. Nothing extreme, just a few things that mean weeknight Flossie does not panic at 6.30 pm.
Why my Meal Prep Works 🌱 Meal prep isn’t about eating the same thing every day, it’s about giving yourself a few nourishing building blocks. If you’d like to plan your own week of easy, gut-friendly meals, grab my free Meal Prep Guide. It walks you through how I batch grains, veggies and proteins for five mix-and-match meals. Your weeknights will look a lot calmer (and more colorful). It’s the easiest way I know to rack up your 30 plants.
