What can I do with...Brussels Sprouts?



Recommended Posts

I recently got a bag of Brussels Sprouts.

I cut a handful in half, sprinkled with olive oil and a little bit of roasted vegetable seasoning, and roasted them in my toaster oven. I served them with a splash of Newman's Own lite balsamic dressing.

Delish,

What is your favorite, easy way to prepare Brussels Sprouts?

I like to grill mine on a grill pan. Sometimes I sear them with diced pancetta, for a smoky, bacon-y flavor. However I haven't been sleeves yet, but I'm thinking it should be okay in moderation at the regular food stage?

Roast em with olive oil and Shallots or onions toss in balsamic glaze from trader joes (you could also make your own balsamic reduction) and goat

cheese.

Yummmm I so love Brussel sprouts - you can break them into like shredded consistency throw them on a baking sheet and toss in salt/ pepper and olive oil bake for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees or do the same thing but replace the olive oil with balsamic vinegar

They will come out crispy and yummy

Roasting them is the best. They stay firm and are fun to munch on. Now I wish I had some :(

Our favorite recipe: cook a few strips of bacon-cut into bite size pieces and set aside. season the brussels sprouts with your favorite seasoning, we usually use garlic pepper only, since the remaining ingredients are filled w/sodium.

Use a little of the bacon grease &sautee the Brussels sprouts.

Then we add low sodium chicken broth, just enough to wet the bottom of the skillet (I'd guess1/3rd cup). Add back your bacon pieces & simmer for about 5-10 minutes till your desired tenderness.

We also make the same recipe w/o bacon & just sautee in evoo & add the chicken broth.

Delish!

Roasted high heat until the outside is crispy and the inside is creamy mush! I toss with a little olive oil and whatever seasonings grab my tastebuds that day.

I normally detest Brussels sprouts (blame a stomach flu back when I was a kid). I imagine they'd be fine roasted, maybe with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on there. I've also had them in a slaw. They were terrific like that.

I do a quick blanch to soften them a little then I sauté with a small amount of crispy bacon. Right before they are tender I splash with balsamic vinegar. They get Carmelized are are absolutely delish!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
