Balsamic & Grana Roasted Brussel Sprouts

4/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
On this episode of I'll Make a Brussel Sprout Lover out of Anyone, we're serving up some super simple Balsamic & Grana Padano Roasted Brussel Sprouts. There's fewer than 10 ingredients needed to make brussel sprouts a stand out side dish or even a snack because they're that good.

Halved sprouts are tossed in oil, pepper flakes, crushed & minced garlic, and salt, and roasted until blistered with some crispy action. Then, we're blanketing them in a cloud of grated grana padano cheese and baking until the cheese is melted and crispy. Lastly, a finishing sprink of salt and some gorgeous, store-bought balsamic reduction to finish everything off. The sweet reduction pairs so well with the bitter sprouts and nutty grana. They're addictive, trust me.

Veggie Dumpling Soup

Omg y'all, this recipe takes me way back. These drop dumplings are the ones my Mimi made for my dad and his family growing up and my dad made for us as well, so it's a special recipe to me. I would also like to add that my dad said they were about as close to perfect as he could imagine so trust me y'all, these drop dumplings are it.

The soup is brothy and full of tender potatoes and green kale, the perfect backdrop for our fluffy dumplings. The soup doesn't cook for that long so we're using a soup base to get as much flavour in to our broth as possible in a short time. The soup is delicious with some crusty bread to soak up broth after you devour those tender dumplings.

All you need to do now is head to the RECIPES page.

Call me crazy, but I think orzo pasta is one of the very best to use for pasta salads. The size is perfect when compared to your chopped veggies so you're not overwhelmed by pasta and minimal veg action. Plus, I love the texture of properly cooked orzo.

This salad is like a welcome home party to spring. Fresh, crisp veggies like cucumbers and bell peppers, freshness from basil & parsley, perfectly roasted grape tomatoes, and tangy feta. Tossed in a super simple vinaigrette, it's delicious and perfect with a variety of mains. Also, keep this recipe for your summer bbqs because it's easy to put together in a hurry!

The Absurdity of Landlords Who Ban pets

4/15/2022

0 Comments

 
When landlords don't allow pets, everyone loses. Shelter animals are harder to adopt out, renters face uncertainty and fear over their situations, and people consider relocating to other city's that are more pet-friendly. It's absurd, discriminatory, and frankly, lazy of landlords.

Head to the ANIMAL NEWS page for my take on the absurdity of landlords who ban pets.
