Brussel Sprouts with Pistachios and Lemon

This is one of my favorite Brussels Sprout recipes and I only wish I had pistachios instead of Marcona almonds last night. Quarter Brussels sprouts and toss in Evoo, garlic, and S&P. Lay out on a cookie sheet and roast for 10-15 min on 450. Add lemon juice (1 whole lemon) and almonds or pistachios and broil for another couple of minutes. Take out of oven and add lemon zest and more S&P if needed. I like to serve this as a side dish or on brown rice with grilled chicken and a little extra evoo and lemon juice on top.

Curried Coconut Cauliflower

This Curried Cauliflower was a winner at our house. If you have leftovers throw it on some lettuce with chicken and you have dinner the next night. Spread on a cookie sheet: 8-10 cups of cauliflower (it reduces) 1 onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced Combine Sauce- (rough idea) 3/4 C EVOO 1/2 C red wine vinegar 1 tsp cumin 3 tsp curry powder 1 tsp paprika S&P Pour sauce over cauliflower and onions. Mix until combined. Bake for 15 minutes or so at 450 Add shredded coconut and bake for a few more minutes Add Cilantro for garnish.

Meatloaf Marinara with Zoodles

Filming a fun segment on @studio5ksl today! Meatloaf cupcakes (previous post) and turning the leftovers into two different meals. My family all agreed we liked this “meatloaf marinara” sauce as much as the cupcakes. Crumble up leftover meatloaf muffins and put in Arrabbiata sauce. Top with shaved Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve over *zoodles or pasta! * I sauté my zoodles in a little Grape Seed Oil and S&P. Don’t overlook them or they’ll be soggy and watery. You want them cooked al dente.

Spicy Asian Slaw

Last salad recipe from my party. This one was definitely the favorite! So many different textures with a spicy, sweet, Asian twist. There are a lot of “dashes” in this recipe because I can’t remember exactly how I made the dressing and playing scales can be so boring. Dressing 3/4 C mayo Juice of 2-3 limes A couple of dashes of red wine vinegar Heavy dashes of soy sauce Heavy dashes of sesame seed oil Dashes of chili oil Grated ginger 2 TB or so Wasabi paste Sugar, 2-3 TB S&P. (Mix, taste, and add until it’s just perfect) Bagged coleslaw mix Costco Sweet Kale Vegetable Salad (1/2 of the bag) Cilantro, chopped Green onion, thinly sliced Snow peas, roughly chopped Red, yellow, and orange sweet peppers, chopped small Costco cashew nut clusters, chopped up Add chicken to make this dinner. Mix dressing and let sit. Add all other ingredients together and pour dressing 20 minutes before serving. “Following a recipe is like playing scales, and cooking is jazz.” Shauna Niequist
