Welcome to the Shaline Show. Shaline is a New York Times best-selling author, celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Hey there! Thanks so much for joining me on this edition of the Shaline Show. Guess what? You're in for a treat.

This is a short episode that's going to make all the difference in the world.

For those of you who are trying to figure out how to make vegetables that your family will actually eat.

And listen, if we're being honest, I'm not that great in the kitchen.

I know where my strengths lie. So recently I had Laura, the creator and founder of Organic Authority, dot com, on the Shaline Show.

Now, what led her to her passionate pursuit of all things organic was in fact that she was a professionally trained chef.

What she discovered was that when she used organic produce, organic products, organic ingredients,

the flavor of her dishes didn't compare to when she was preparing things without organic ingredients.

So anyways, I had her on my show and for perhaps selfish reasons at the end, I asked if she could give me a cooking lesson

so that I knew how to make vegetables that my family was begging for, including how to make Brussels sprouts, taste,

crunchy and delicious and sweet like the way they are when you order them from a restaurant.

Well, she obliged and I've been practicing these tips and I'm just telling you it's so good I had to share.

Enjoy.

I would kick myself if I didn't take the opportunity to ask you as a trained chef.

Do you have any tips like that we could just really wow people with the next time we're cooking up some vegetables?

Oh yeah, yes. How does it be my favorite cooking technique?

Very simple. I like simple.

Yeah, yeah, and even meat too.

Okay, okay.

Roasting just brings out a richness and a depth of flavor and vegetables that is unlike anything else.

You know, today's vegetables are not what our mothers made us.
