Yoga yesterday at the Downtown studio was GREAT! I'm so sore today.
that looks so delicious! i definitely need to try this one. i have a recipe for roasted brussel sprout salad if you'd like as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever tried Brussel Sprouts. What do they taste like?
ReplyDeletethey can be bitter if, in my opinion, not cooked properly, but in the recipe i have they are crunchy, a little sweet, and have a dense texture like sweet potatoes (kind of). i think you would enjoy it, plus there is a little bacon.
ReplyDeletebacon? I want it! Thanks, Love you!
ReplyDeleteTried this for dinner tonight with turkey burgers...it was INCREDIBLE! I'll be writing it in my recipe book tonight!
