who knew? Brussel sprouts!

I've been following a couple of vegan blogs (vegan planet and what the hell does a vegan eat anyway) and have been experimenting with a few veggie only meals. So far, sooo good! Today I came across another awesome blog, barefoot something - i added her to my blog list - and she had some good recipes and ideas too!

Tonight's dinner was my own rendition of the barefoot blogs twice baked potato casserole (except no cheese in mine, white potatoes and diff vegs!) and totally tasty. As a side dish to complement the yummy casserole I decided to use a bag of organic brussel sprouts I've had in the freezer for a few weeks. I picked them up intending on using them in some recipe or other, but then I couldn't find the recipe. So, since my oven was on I thought I'd thaw them under some cool running water, toss them into a roasting pan - drizzle with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and nestled them in the oven next to the casserole. I don't know why I didn't think of making them this way before (i'm sure i've probably seen this somewhere). My little baby couldn't get enough of the brussel sprouts! She was so cute. I mashed some up for her and she ate and ate! mmmm! Tonight's dinner was so simple and so delicious. Who knew brussel sprouts tasted so good! I realized tonight that I'd never actually eaten them before. i will more often now, that's for sure!
