My Healthy Brussel Sprout Recipe
I found a recipe for brussel sprouts using frozen brussel sprouts, lemon juice, slivered almonds, salt, pepper (freshly ground, of course), and butter (I used Butter Buds). I put this wonderful concoction in the Crock Pot and set it on high for 4 hours (when the dinner would start). It became green mush which had no calories because no one would eat them, even with slivered almonds sprinkled on top.
My family has requested I no longer bring cooked dishes to dinners. They think it might possibly be okay to do deviled eggs or perhaps a veggie tray.
I can now cook chicken breasts so they aren't dry and I still can't figure out a Crock Pot. Tonight I am roasting a butternut squash (I actually know how to do that) with a little olive oil. When it's done, you scrape out the pulp and mix it with a little skim milk and chicken broth and some salt, pepper, nutmeg and whatever for squash soup or you can ma**** with some Splenda and Butter Buds and pumpkin pie seasoning for a sort of pumpkin pie taste without the calories and stuff.
My cooking is improving but if any of you know easy recipes put them out there for us beginners.
...I think Kim wanted to know how to center the yolks for deviled eggs? Someone told me you put the eggs in the carton upside down overnight before boiling them. I have no idea if this works because I've never known 2 days in advance that I would be making deviled eggs.

I love brussel sprouts.
Crock pot chili is the bomb and makes the entire house smell wonderful. I also like beans with some ham in the crock pot-both of those things freeze and reheat without drying out. I don't like to cook a lot of meaty stuff ahead, because once it's reheated I usually can't eat it.....but putting meat in a foil "packet" with a little water on a 300 degree oven can reheat a lot of meat that's pretty tasty-works for ribs and ham.
I can cook, but I'm not a recipe person-more of a mad scientist. My latest thing I love is california sweet basil-I put it on everything-much much sweeter than regular basil.
