My insides suffered. I kid not. Doing without when you cannot trough on your acceptable fodder is possible, and quite survivable, I do it often enough, when I fail to get my sheot together, so to speak.

Dottleshead ★ Posted October 13, 2018 Share #79 Posted October 13, 2018 spinach and kale work wonders buried in a deep swirl of a fruit smoothie. If you can't eat them, drink them. My wife makes superb frozen fruit smoothies with other non-dairy, non-sat fat ingredients and I actually prefer it. And if you've never had her "Nice dream" made in her food processor w/ all fresh, frozen whole fruit ingredients... you'll never know what you are missing. I honestly think there is ZERO let down eating it over ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted October 14, 2018 Share #90 Posted October 14, 2018 Made a brussel sprout casserole last nite. Took a bag of TJ's shredded brussel sprouts, and fried it up in a blend of olive and coconut oil. I grated some organic cheddar and gruyere Whisked an egg, would have used 2 if I'd had it. Added paprika, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, coconut aminos, 1/2 can of organic mushroom soup, and a splash of heavy cream. Added 2 cans of tuna. Stirred it all together, put some 4 cheese italian (TJ) on top and cooked it in 300F oven for about 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had some lightly steamed with a tad of butter and salt. They could have stood a tad more steaming and a tad more butter, but they were still excellent! I can take them roasted now as long as they are not burned and dessicated to a crisp, which is easy to do since they are so small and delicate.

MickinMD ★ Posted April 6, 2019 Share #93 Posted April 6, 2019 I love them. I always grow them in my veggie garden - which I haven't kept for a few years but hope to do next year. Martha Stewart includes a dozen of them - cut in half as you like (me too!) in her VERY excellent Savory Fall Stew (sausage, butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, brussels sprouts, onions, tomatoes and fennel): https://www.marthastewart.com/337234/savory-fall-stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
