How To Make Brussels Sprouts Your Kids Will Love

October 8, 2015 by Sally

Full disclosure: I never ate a Brussels sprout until I was in my 30s. Growing up, they weren’t something my family ever had. And let’s face it, back then they were served hopelessly overcooked in most households, thus earning the little cabbages the reputation as Child’s Worst Dinnertime Nightmare. Luckily, we know better now. We know how …

July 16, 2015 by Sally

Slow cookers tend to see a lot of action in colder temperatures for soups and stews and get shelved in the summertime. But summer is actually a perfect time to use the slow cooker. After all, who wants their oven blazing when it’s 85 degrees outside? And there’s a whole lot more your slow cooker can do than churn out hearty, …

I found myself standing in front of the open refrigerator yesterday at 5:30 with a package of chicken breasts in my hand, wishing I could think of something new to do with them.

Cherry & Almond Brussels Sprouts Salad

November 24, 2014 by Sally

Now that Brussels sprouts are in vogue, they might be showing up alongside stuffing and mashed potatoes this week for Thanksgiving. (These Roasted Balsamic Brussels would make a killer side dish.) But you could also serve them raw in a Brussels sprouts salad. I got this recipe from a friend of mine, who brought a bowl full …

Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

August 7, 2014 by Sally

Poor, maligned Brussels sprouts. They’ve long been a punchline, shorthand for “yucky healthy food that nobody wants to eat”, and a dinnertime villain in children’s books–most likely because they were served boiled-to-mush one too many times by well-meaning parents. Now Brussels sprouts are finally getting their due. Roasting has become one of the most popular ways …
