Brussel Sprouts, Sweet Potatoes and Eggs with Pomegranate Molasses

Can you believe I STILL have sweet potatoes from my garden?! Whether it really was a good harvest or just the fact that I took 8 weeks off from cooking during my campaign, I am not sure.  But here is what part of the harvest looked like. We got some nice brussels sprouts this week,…

Roasted Vegetable Tart and Quiche

Two versions tonight – why?  I roasted a lot of vegetables and my pastry crust was not big enough, so I also pulled out a pre-made pie crust and made a quiche. Each was worth making individually, so I have included both. Some in the family preferred the quiche… Others the tart… Roasted Vegetable Filling…

Really Yummy Brussels Sprouts for Two

I am really looking forward to spring vegetables.  I love winter squashes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage, but I am really ready for the freshness of the bright green spring veggies.  One winter vegetable I never seem to tire of, however, is Brussels Sprouts.  I love roasted Brussels sprouts, pan seared, steamed; I have even been…

So, this sounded like…

Brussels Sprout and Salami Grilled Cheese

Brussels sprouts, the quintessential winter veggie.  One of my favorites. Salami, I can’t remember a time when I did not love good salami. Grilled cheese, comfort food you can hold in your hand. Bring them all together, add a salad and it is a fairly quick, simple, tasty dinner.  We added a carrot-peas salad, adding…

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts Chiffonade

Have I told you that I love Brussels sprouts?  Yes, I know, probably every time I post a Brussels sprout recipe.  I can’t help it, I love these little guys.  I think it started with the dollhouse aspect; they are the just the right size to be cabbages for Barbie dolls.  Growing them, however, continues…
