What can I do with...Brussels Sprouts?



Recommended Posts

I recently got a bag of Brussels Sprouts.

I cut a handful in half, sprinkled with olive oil and a little bit of roasted vegetable seasoning, and roasted them in my toaster oven. I served them with a splash of Newman's Own lite balsamic dressing.

Delish,

What is your favorite, easy way to prepare Brussels Sprouts?

I like to grill mine on a grill pan. Sometimes I sear them with diced pancetta, for a smoky, bacon-y flavor. However I haven't been sleeves yet, but I'm thinking it should be okay in moderation at the regular food stage?

Roast em with olive oil and Shallots or onions toss in balsamic glaze from trader joes (you could also make your own balsamic reduction) and goat

cheese.

Yummmm I so love Brussel sprouts - you can break them into like shredded consistency throw them on a baking sheet and toss in salt/ pepper and olive oil bake for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees or do the same thing but replace the olive oil with balsamic vinegar

They will come out crispy and yummy

Roasting them is the best. They stay firm and are fun to munch on. Now I wish I had some :(

Our favorite recipe: cook a few strips of bacon-cut into bite size pieces and set aside. season the brussels sprouts with your favorite seasoning, we usually use garlic pepper only, since the remaining ingredients are filled w/sodium.

Use a little of the bacon grease &sautee the Brussels sprouts.

Then we add low sodium chicken broth, just enough to wet the bottom of the skillet (I'd guess1/3rd cup). Add back your bacon pieces & simmer for about 5-10 minutes till your desired tenderness.

We also make the same recipe w/o bacon & just sautee in evoo & add the chicken broth.

Delish!

Roasted high heat until the outside is crispy and the inside is creamy mush! I toss with a little olive oil and whatever seasonings grab my tastebuds that day.

I normally detest Brussels sprouts (blame a stomach flu back when I was a kid). I imagine they'd be fine roasted, maybe with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on there. I've also had them in a slaw. They were terrific like that.

I do a quick blanch to soften them a little then I sauté with a small amount of crispy bacon. Right before they are tender I splash with balsamic vinegar. They get Carmelized are are absolutely delish!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
