Last nights dinner was one of my favorites so I had to share... roasted brussel sprouts and tomatoes with salmon.
If you think you're not a fan of brussel sprouts, don't knock em' till you try them like this!
It is so simple to do. I chopped the brussel sprouts in half, tossed them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then spread them out on a cookie sheet.
I then popped them in a 375 degree oven for 30ish minutes. Half way through I added some sliced cherry tomatoes and let them roast with the brussel sprouts for the last 15 minutes.
I seasoned the salmon with some fresh lemon juice, and a bit of my favorite lemon pepper seasoning, and then stuck that in the 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Ta daaa!!
I was craving something sweet later so I threw together some frozen fruit that I had and ended up with an AMAZING smoothie. I have been buying a lot of frozen fruit lately because at this time of year the "fresh" fruit only lasts about a day until it starts getting moldy... yuck! Anyway, make this ASAP, you will love it!
