I could eat this side dish as a meal, mainly because I love, love, love bacon. I should have named my son “Kevin Bacon.”
These Brussels sprouts are one of my family’s favorite sides. And when we have guests, it’s one of the first things to go — people always ask for more! Believe me, you can get a craving for these nuggets of goodness because they’re so satisfying, especially with the bacon’s salty, smokey richness.
This recipe transforms a simple green salad into a sweet and tangy sensation. What’s special about it? Well, it’s nutty plus creamy plus sweet/tart. And you’ll want to make sure to have all three components in your mouth at every bite.
This turkey taco lettuce cups recipe offers a healthy twist on the typical taco because it uses turkey, which offers a lower fat content than ground beef, and we substitute bibb lettuce for the typical fried corn tortilla shell. Structurally these tacos are a little messy, but they are worth it.
These glazed walnuts are crunchy and caramelized to perfection with honey and sugar, and the roasting brings out the nuttiness. We love them because you can eat them as a sweet snack or toss them onto almost any salad.
This smoothie is a favorite of our guest host, “smoothie operator” Nicholas, age five (see the video). It’s frozen bananas, nut butter, honey, protein powder and ice. Healthy, easy, fun.
This dish has a lot of big, fresh flavors. The combo of the sweetness from the preserves and the little spanking you get from the cayenne pepper is a really nice flavor sensation. You don’t need to put together a ton of ingredients and the sauce is pretty much already made for you because you simply grab a decent jar of apricot preserves.
