Shredded Brussels Sprouts


Brussels Sprouts don't win popularity contest but I think, this recipe is a sure-fire way to love them.  They have always been a favorite of mine and I love plain brussels sprouts with a little butter.  Since, not everyone does, I wanted to make these to be more appealing to everyone.

 The beauty of this is, you can personalize the dish with  your favorite flavors. You can spice it up and add plenty of heat and it will be delicious.  You can add mangoes and shallots and come up with new dimensions.  This is a recipe to be played with and enjoyed.

 Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients

1/8th cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon honey or sugar
1/4 teaspoon Chinese Five Spices
(I meant to add a little garlic but forgot)
1 container of ( I think a pint)Brussels sprouts, shredded
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup thin sliced red bell pepper
a few turns of the pepper mill (black)

Method:

Heat soy sauce in a large skillet.   Add the Chinese spices, garlic and sugar.  Mix in pan.
Add brussels sprouts, mushrooms and red pepper to the skillet.  Cook on a medium flame for about 15 minutes.

You are now ready to eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine.

For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
