Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Lemon and Pistachios

If you happen to have young fresh brussels sprouts on hand, I highly recommend this recipe. Added some butter to make it extra creamy. Yum!

Recipe: Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Lemon and Pistachios

Creamed Broccoli

Quick, easy and healthy. Used 2% milk and an immersion blender.

Polenta, Kale and Purple Cauliflower... oh my!

Sunday night dinner was sauteed kale & mushrooms with polenta. In my effort to make it healthy, I omitted a lot of stuff that probably make this a great dish. My version was just ok. I guess butter does make everything better!

And check out the purple cauliflower I got in my Johnson's Backyard box last week. Pretty groovy!

Lemon Rosemary Roast Chicken

The trick with this recipe is to put the mixture under the skin. Take a spoon and separate the breast & thigh/drumstick meat from the skin. Then just shove everything in. If you want it to be really aromatic, you can also use rosemary sprigs.

Steamed Mussels

Steamed mussels in a white wine tomato sauce with roasted garlic. One of our favorite winter meals. Yum!
