Ya ll, this dish is my absolute favorite side right now! I love it so much I could easily make a batch and just eat it straight from the bowl as my main course! =)
Here's what you'll need:
brussel sprouts (remove the stem and cut in half) I buy the big bag from Costco!
I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this program to be released! This group I am running is starting on JANUARY 15TH and is going to be unlike any other group I've ever done before! I can't wait to kick of 2018 with this program and start the year off feeling my BEST!
So what is 80 Day Obsession???
It is the newest Beachbody program created by celebrity trainer and fitness expert, Autumn Calabrese! You may know her from programs like 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Hammer and Chisel, Country Heat, and FIXATE!
The program was specifically designed to flatten and tone your abs while lifting and firming your booty (sign me up!!) BUT it will do so much more than that! You're going to see your entire body changing!
Unlike other programs that rotate you through 7 or so different workouts, during this program you will NEVER do the same workout twice! 80 different workouts that are filmed live so you get a different experience every single day! That means no plateaus and no getting bored! You will feel like she is your personal trainer as she goes through the 80 days with you!
The nutrition plan is based on the advanced theory of timed nutrition that's super easy to follow! We not only learn what to eat but WHEN to eat! Autumn breaks it down into a very simple meal plan that takes the guesswork out.
3 Phases spread out over 13 weeks: 6 workouts per week + 1 rest day
Modifier in every workout.
Workout length: 45-60 minutes. You DO have time for that...don't fool yourself into thinking you're too busy! Everybody's busy, you just need support and a plan to keep you accountable! =)
Here is a sneak peek into what the program will be like:

Hey y'all!!! Long time no see! =) I am back to blogging and can't wait to share recipes, our flood experience, recent trips, and life lessons we've learned since my last post! We just got back from an amazing vacation to DisneyWorld that I can't wait to tell you about and share some tips I learned! First things first though...food!! =) We had some amazing dishes while we were there and I was pleasantly surprised how they cater so well to those of us who have food allergies! There were tons of delicious gluten free options!! One day we went to eat at Be Our Guest and Kyle and I ordered the Potato Leek Soup. It was SO GOOD and once we got home and knew some cooler weather was coming we wanted to try to replicate it! It turned out to be so good and although it takes some extra work with chopping and blending, it didn't take long at all. If you have a Vitamix I'm sure it will be super quick and easy for you! Lucky!! =)
Terrible lighting but enjoying our food at Be Our Guest.
We love Beauty and the Beast!!
So here you go... Creamy Potato Leek Soup perfect for Soup Season! Let me know how you like it!
Ingredients:
6 large leeks, washed and dark green parts/roots removed, chopped
6 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 medium yellow onion, chopped
8 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
6 tbsp. butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp. chives, chopped
1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne (optional)
Directions:
Melt butter in 3-quart pot over medium heat.
Add garlic, onion, and leeks. Cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add potatoes, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir ingredients together, cover pot and cook an additional 5 minutes, or until potatoes begin to soften (about 5 minutes).
Add broth, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow simmer. Cook until potatoes are completely soft (about 10 minutes).
Either use an immersion blender, or ladle soup into a big food processor or blender. Blend until pureed and return to pot. You may have to work in batches, depending on how big your appliance is.
Once pureed soup is returned to pot, reduce heat to low and stir in cream. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until hot.
Top with chives and serve.
Notes:
Cayenne pepper will make the soup spicy so that is optional! We didn't use any but we did decide we would add some cooked and crumbled bacon next time for extra flavor.
