What's Cookin' Good Lookin'

Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.

Super Bowl of Deliciousnes

For many SuperBowl Sunday is associated with snacky food like nachos, pizza, and wings, sometimes a girl craves a hearty, home-cooked meal. I snacked at Rocco's delightful birthday party and ate some beautiful Elmo cupcakes all afternoon. Upon arriving home, I decided to forgo SuperBowl snacks and football and satisfy my month-long craving for Brussel Sprouts and Richard Gere.

Once again Saturday at the public market, filled my fridge with veggies galore and I snapped up this brussel sprout creation from months of dreaming and reading of brussel sprouts.. Why it took me this long to eat some I may never know.

Winter Brussel Sprout Slaw

Cook up 2-3 or 5 (you'll want to eat some) strips of Bacon until crispy and delicious.
Remove bacon from pan and eat some because you just can't help yourself.

In bacon grease, saute 1 medium Onion diced and 2-3 Apples diced.
Add 1 tsp of Sage and some Garlic.
Shred up 12-15 Brussel Sprouts and add to onion mixture on low heat.

In microwave, heat 1 Tbl. of Honey. Add 1Tbl. of Mustard, 2 Tbl. of Rice Wine Vinegar (Cider Vinegar would prob. be great too), and crumbly bacon! Mix into a sauce/frenzy.

Cook brussel sprouts until limp but not to mushy (T.W.S.S.). Turn off heat and stir in vinaigrette/frenzied sauce and toss it.
Upon completing, I thought some toasted/sliced almonds or pine nuts might be a fab addition as well??


I served this tasty concoction with Sauteed Spicy Sausage and Red Peppers and some Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
Add a side of red wine and zydeco and.... SuperBowl? What's that?
