what a delicious and healthful salad! I have to admit I'm not too crazy about brussels sprouts but I am willing to give them a second chance. I think since you cooked the brussels sprouts they probably taste a lot better

That looks plenty gorgeous, and yummy!! I admit, I've never been a huge brussel sprout fan, but seeing so many people roast it and give it that gorgeous caramelized color has made me put it on the list as a side dish for Thanksgiving. And quinoa -- love, love, love it. Great grain and so versatile!

LOL on the toddler diaper change and those sneaky brussels sprouts - always trying to blame it on the next guy!

This dish looks great! Simple and delicious, perfecto!

LOL - edited to add... my word verification just now was "Fanting" hahaha!

Oh P.S.
I love eating brussel sprouts! I roast them just like you do--sometimes adding a little maple syrup + salt!

2009-11-05T01:13:48.591-08:00

Ok, I am definitely trying that sesame dressing sometime SOON! Do you think I could just use regular rice vinegar, though?

You are so organized with your shopping! I agree that it does help to save money and keep the focus on healthy necessities. Lately I've been making my plan/list and sending Hubs to the store for me--that way I can't pick up any extras!

I'm not a huge fan of brussel sprouts, but I've only had them once in my life. Maybe it could be prepared better? I'm willing to give it a second try tho.

2009-11-04T22:17:42.016-08:00

That is just an amazing dish - so nutritious and tasty!

I do use a list, stay focused on it, but even then I do buy extras here and there. Not usually anything bad, but just not on the list!

You are using all my favorite ingredients! I can't wait to try this!

2009-11-04T17:14:40.270-08:00

I do shop with a list, but a lot of the times I'll end up getting stuff not on my list. I'm sort of the Go-with-the-flow with that I can possibly cook for the week.

Brussel sprout = yes!

2009-11-04T15:41:41.041-08:00

Oh that dressing looks great! I always go with a list but like to explore within that - "cereal" could mean 100 things depending on what I'm in the mood for, etc!...

2009-11-04T15:33:43.298-08:00

Beautiful meal...Linda over at One Scoop at a Time also has a meal with Brussels sprouts posted....I'm being inspired!

I usually shop with a list, very similar to you- I try to make the list match the layout of the store with the goal of being very efficient. When I have more time though, I do like to wander and check out new and different foods.

I haven't flossed yet today, but I will definitely do it before bed!!

2009-11-04T14:56:05.980-08:00

I have to make lists for the grocery or else I'll come back without the essential milk/bread/toilet paper and instead have a half-price rejected sheet cake that says "Happy Blirthday, Brabra!" and an unhealthy quantity of seasonal fruit I couldn't possibly eat before it rots.

...All this being said, I love this recipe. I've been on a brussel sprout kick lately so it's good timing!

2009-11-04T14:35:29.488-08:00

I don't usually make lists when I go shopping (on the rare occasions that I do, I'll write cryptic descriptions like, "green" or "starchy.") However, I LOVE to list what I already have in columns by food group, then look it over and highlight stuff that goes together. (I make each dish a different color). Is that obsessive much??

2009-11-04T14:05:50.885-08:00

I LOVE making lists for everything, I am a freak about it. But I will go "off list" if inspiration strikes. I love, and have always loved, brussels sprouts. I like to saute them in butter with salt and pepper til beginning to brown and then finish then with a squeeze of fresh lime. Your dish looks delish.

2009-11-04T12:27:38.628-08:00

i didn't floss....

i've never had brussel sprouts...

i'm a crushing disappointment!

Although, I DO map out the grocery store and I WILL be trying your yummy salad dressing!

2009-11-04T11:51:17.501-08:00

I do like brussel sprouts, but my husband does not! So I get them all to myself :)

I shop with a plan, too. I have to to stick to our budget every week.

2009-11-04T10:59:26.663-08:00

I usually don't have a list but my husband uses a list just so we don't forget something we really need, like toilet paper. I am pretty familait with the layout (seeing as this is sorta part of my job, I have done stuff with grocery stores before), so I realy just go with it and usually I do not forget any major things we need.

I do not like brussel sprouts, but I also haven't tried them in a while, so I think I may buy them at the commissary since I saw some there and they do look good.

I am hoping when I am at the store tomorrow I can locate some floss that won't kill me (not only the mint, but I am allergic to the cinnamon flavored one too).

The last click looks so good!

What a great sounding recipe! I love brussel sprouts!

I always shop with a list. I'm generally more focused at the store where I do the "main" haul, but I do love to browse the bigger store which is much better stocked. I don't do regular shopping there because I'd spend way to much money!!

2009-11-04T08:56:59.661-08:00

YES I flossed...twice actually

I love to be super efficient AND I love to browse the ailes...but the browse is a relaxing luxury and most shopping ventures lately are CHORES
boo

I love brussell sprouts but anytime I cook:
brocolli
brussel sprouts
Kale
or Collard greens

I get "it smells like an old folks home)

so I don't cook them often.

baking Kale seems to be not offensive.
I am going to give roasting brussels a shot!

2009-11-04T08:22:16.365-08:00

I am a grab on the go shopper and I'm sure that means I spend more than I should. But I am VERY good at making sure everything in our fridge gets eaten.

I love Brussels sprouts but I have an embarrasing confession to make: I have never eaten fresh Brussels sprouts, only frozen. I am inspired to try the fresh ones!

Love Quinoa. It is such a perfect food. Well Done Andrea. and good on ya for flossing :)
