Brussels Sprout "Home Fries" By Megan, on November 3rd, 2009 For lunch today, I was craving breakfast food!
Specifically, scrambled eggs and breakfast-style potatoes. Only one problem– I didn’t have any potatoes in the house! So I decided to get creative with what I had in my fridge: Brussels Sprouts. Yep, you heard me. To start, I rinsed my little green veggies, and cut them into quarters (breakfast-potato-size). Next, I tossed them in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some minced garlic. Then I spread my little Brussels out on a baking sheet, and popped them in the oven, pre-heated to 400 degrees. After 10 minutes, I was smelling my yummy roasted Brussels, so I pulled them out of the oven, and sprinkled them with a dash of sea salt, and tossed them in the pan with a spatula, to thoroughly coat.
I served my tasty “tots” with 3 organic scrambled eggs topped with fresh pico de gallo. I practiced some self control, and only ate one! I’m ready to wear some sweaters!!!

How I didn’t turn into a potato is beyond me.
So how does this lead us to carrots and turnips, exactly? When I’m hungry, tired and can’t think of anything to make; yes this happens to the best of us, I’ve always gravitated toward a big batch of mashed potatoes or yams and lived off it for a couple of days – along with some sort of protein of course. But not this time, no, no.

I have mentioned it in passing a couple of times, but no actual recipes.
