It’s essentially a combination of meat, potatoes, and vegetables, in any and all combinations. That means there’s a ton of variety in […]

The small, white, and economical Pea Bean or Haricot provided a very filling, and nutritious protein during times of food rationing.

here are a lot of us out there who love brussels sprouts. There are also a lot of those who wrinkle their noses at the mere mention of this cruciferous powerhouse!
Love ’em or not so much, they are here to stay. Not only do they find their way onto professional and home chef’s tables, but they are good for you!
Rich in antioxidants, they are also high in vitamins K and C and are a good source of fiber which promotes regularity and a healthy gut biome.
Roasting brussels sprouts over steaming or boiling is one of my favorite ways to eat them. The outer leaves get a little crispy and caramelized which upgrades
their flavor spectrum. Another way is to slice them thinly on a mandolin and make a slaw. They have a bold flavor, so creating a slaw with ingredients that compliment or
offset the bitterness of the brussels sprout is key. I’ve provided a recipe below that tastes pretty great. It’s a little sweet and tangy with lots of flavors that meld and bring the salad together.

I love sweet potato pie, however, I am not a huge fan of the marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes/yam casserole. I am also pretty confident that once you have tried this recipe that you won’t ever go back to marshmallow-topped casserole.
