BUTTERNUT SQUASH CHILI – butternut squash chili

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUT SKEWERS These Brussels sprout skewers are a great party vegetable because you can make them ahead of time and then roast (or even grill them, if you’re cooking out) right before serving the rest of the food. They do take 30 to 40 minutes to...

The paleo diet

ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD This refreshing salad is a great option if you’re craving Asian food but don’t want to order takeout. The hot, tangy, gingery dressing goes wonderfully with the sprouts and mandarin oranges, but since it’s a salad, it makes a lovely side...
