Roasted Brussel Sprouts

This recipe is so simple and easy and my kids just love them as a side dish or a snack the next day.  Its a great way to get your kids eating healthy veggies!

All you need is :

 20 Brussels sprouts , peeled, cleaned and  the brown cut of stems.
 1 tsp Olive oil
Kosher salt (any salt will do)  to taste , I like mine salty.
Black pepper.

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.
In a mixing bowl cover the sprouts in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Lay Brussel sprouts on cookie sheet and cook in oven for 35 - 40 minutes.  The  outside leaves should have a brown crispy look to them and the inside should be tender.

Serve and Enjoy.  I like a little lemon juice on mine too :)

I got 2 thumbs up for  these tasty brussel sprouts.   Hope you do too!

Oh and thanks for stopping by my blog....

Quails eggs in a nest cont...

While bread is frying, crack three of your quail eggs into a small bowl...easier to pick out shells in any happen to fall in.

When both sides on the bread are a nice crispy brown pour the eggs into the hole.                    

Cook on each side for approx. 15 seconds.

And there you go..three little eggs in a nest for you and your family to enjoy :).

Quails eggs in a nest.

For breakfast this morning I cooked something simple and fast.  I purchased a carton of 24 quail eggs and when I woke up this morning I realized...I have no idea what to do with these tiny eggs.




 

This is a really simple and quick breakfast that my mom would make me as a kid just with regular eggs.

What you'll need
6 quail eggs
2 pieces of  bread buttered on both sides

Heat up your frying pan and fry your bread till crispy.

Seafood Alfredo with roasted red peppers

Just a quick meal tonight with a store bought Alfredo sauce and some roasted red peppers.

I pan fried some scallops, shrimp, and crab in a pan with butter and garlic.  After the scallops had a nice brown caramel color to them  I added the sauce and simmered it for 30 minutes on low.

Cooked my linguini pasta for 8 minutes, I like mine al dente.

So far the kids are loving it and Nick (my wonderful bf) has gone for seconds.  Serve with some crusty french bread and a Caesar salad.

 Bon Appetite!

Pork roast with veggies.

Here's a simple recipe for Sunday dinner.

1 pork roast ( whatever size for your family )
Marinade in whatever you like....I used sweet thai chili sauce combined with garlic and lime juice.

20 baby carrots  (or lots more depending on size of crowd)
4 large parsnips (peeled and cut in halves)
5 large red potatoes (fan each potato, making slices but not completely slicing the potato)

Make a butter baste for your potatoes with garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.  Brush over each potato before and while cooking in the oven for 45 minutes at 375 degrees, the last 10 minutes on broil.

Cook your roast and veggies for 1 1/2 hrs.

Serve pork with apple sauce and I made a pork gravy to go over the potatoes and veggies.



Hope your family enjoys as much as mine did . :)
