The sauteed Brussell Sprouts and squash sound so yummy!

Yeah - they were.  Very different way to make brussell sprouts and we really  liked them.

I sliced a pound of FRESH (not frozen) brussel sprouts in half and sauteed them in a non-stick pan with 3 slices of wegmans lower fat low sodium bacon (sliced into quarters) and a little garlic and onion, then as they started to get done added the sliced yellow squash.  They all came out nice and tender and with a very different taste to boiled or steamed ones.

Here we go

B: Grilled chicken strips tossed with fried onions, bacon & BBQ sauce and topped with Pepper Jack Cheese
S: Coffee w/ choc protein
L: Same as breakfast
S: Mozzarella
D: Spinach Ricotta burgers & Creamed Cauliflower

how do you do spinach ricotta burgers?

I will season ground beef with Parm, italian seasoning and garlic. Then make a thin patty. Place some ricotta and spinnich on it, then place another patty on top and seal.

I haven't made these yet, just got the recipe the other day. I am going to try a few that I mex the ricotta and spinch with the beef and pat all together. I will cook both and see which cooks nicer and tastes better. I think my kids will like the spinich mixed up rather than a lump of it in the middle.

So this is an experiment this evening. I will post how they turn out.
