Yes officer I am perfectly capable of running 6,943 miles next week, which is what it would take to burn the holiday calories off.
Can’t I just pay a fine?
Yes, here we are…heavier with guilt and fat cells.
Why don’t we dabble in some greenery today, not a running trail (although god knows I need it.) Lets make some Brussels sprouts..the kind that don’t seem like you are paying a fine.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
2lbs of Brussels Sprouts, coarsely chopped
Olive Oil, just enough to coat the sprouts
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Pre-Heat your oven to 425.
Coarsely chop your Brussels sprouts and toss with Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper. Place Mixture on a foil lined baking pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes .
Top with Parmesan and really really really enjoy.
Only 6,942 miles to go. Work it.
omg! that looks amazing!!! My loves bosses just gave him a big bag of homegrown brussel sprouts for us! This recipe is sure to happen as well as my go to with bacon and walnuts...ugh... lets just talk about how huge the fine is gonnabe!~!!
ReplyDeleteHa you're post cracked me up... there aren't enough miles for me to walk off all the crap I ate this week (heck... month).
ReplyDeleteOh yum, bacon & walnuts...you have my wheels turning! With the leftovers I added in a can of whitebeans and some lemon juice.
ReplyDeletePrinting this off as we speak!! ;-)

ReplyDeleteDUH..nevermind.. I get it! Sorry I'm a true blonde at heart :) haha
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks beautiful! Yum I would like some now!
ReplyDeleteI love brussels sprouts! Great idea to roast them, too. Beautiful and simple, perfect after all the holiday excesses. :D
ReplyDeleteThese sound incredible! Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. We made them for Christmas day with just some olive oil and coarse salt and pepper. I don't think I've ever had them with parm... so I will have to try that!
ReplyDeleteafter all of these terribly fatty holiday meals, this looks absolutely deeelicious. yum!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious but so easy to whip up. Tempting click too. Happy New Year to you and family!

ReplyDeleteYes, I would rather just pay the fine. However, it would be no punishment for me to enjoy your delicious brussels sprouts. I know brussels sprouts are a love em or hate em food but, I love them.

What a tasty way to enjoy some brussels sprouts!
ReplyDeleteYum, I just bought a stalk and have been plotting. This sounds the best so far. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteMmm if I can't pay a fine for those holiday calories then this is certainly the next best thing!
ReplyDeleteI try to incorporate sprouts in different dishes I make..glad to find another cool new way!
ReplyDeleteHave a great n prosperous 2011!!

oh i would happily trade in a run for those delicious sprouts! i love that they're shredded, they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou know...I said I was going to make these this holiday season and never did! Now I like your idea to make them and feel good about it b/c they're healthy and delicious! (I ran 4 today)...that makes only 6,939 for me!
ReplyDeleteVeggies that I would actually eat. That's brilliant! My commentary to the calorie police would be much the same after yesterday's feasting.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be honest, I've never been a huge fan of brussels sprouts, but one of my resolutions is to eat more veggies. I think cheese is a good first step to accomplishing that :) I'll have to give these a fair shot! Hope 2011 brings you fantastic things :)
ReplyDeleteJennifurla...I have NEVER shredded brussel sprouts! That's it. Shredding this week out of shear curiosity! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha... You had me laughing out loud about the fine, I imagine I have to run about 10,000 miles the way vie been gorging myself lately! As for chopping up the sprouts, what a brilliant idea... I usually eat mine whole, but this is one to try out!
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the running. I might have even more miles to run then you:)
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten brussel sprouts...but your recipe sounds so good I might have to try them!
I'm going to try these this evening. They sound delicious and Bob loves Brussels Sprouts. I hope the new year brings you continued health and happiness. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute blog! and ohmygosh - YUMMMN BRUSSELS SPROUTS! I was scared of them my ENTIRE life a few months ago I tried these little balls of yum and fell in love! What a great recipe! =)

I never liked brussel sprouts until I had them roasted.
ReplyDeletelove brussels sprouts and with parmesan? yum!!
ReplyDeleteI have to go back to the gym soon... :(
Happy New Year to you.
Ditto what Bo said.
ReplyDeleteThey have to be seasoned and roasted juuuust right. I would totally eat these.
I so agree about roasting, it adds such a kick to most any vegetable! I can't believe I didn't find this out sooner!
ReplyDeleteWow, we to just boil them whole and just toss them with butter and pepper, but it's hard to find the tiny sprouts since most at the grocery stores are huge. This dish may actually allow me to cook brussels sprouts even when I can't find the tiny ones! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteShredding or chopping brussel sprouts seems like a wonderful idea . . . just picked up some at the store today and found your simple and wonderful suggestion. Trying tonight.
