Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Did you know that April is National Garlic Month?  We're huge fans, so we celebrate it every month at my house.  This month I decided I wanted to try and use it with one of my new favorite vegetables, brussels sprouts.  I wasn't a complete veggie hater growing up, but I definitely stuck to ordinary things like corn and carrots.  I turned my nose up at aspagaragus, broccoli and brussels sprouts until a few years ago, when I discovered how amazing vegetables are when you roast them.   They get even more amazing when you add garlic as they're roasting!

Sadly, I'm the only one who will eat brussels sprouts, so I halved the recipe, and used 4 cloves of garlic.   The house smelled so good, I could hardly wait for dinner!  I like for some of them to get really crispy brown edges, so I let mine go the full 25 minutes.   It definitely wouldn't be terrible to add some cooked applewood smoked bacon to them either.   Thank you to Katherine M-C. for sharing her recipe!

Huge thanks also to Caroline from Caroline's Cooking for hosting, and to all the #FoodieExtravaganza friends for sharing their recipes, check them out using the links at the bottom of the page!

    Brussels sprouts are one of our favorites, especially roasted and garlic always makes good food...great food.

    I have a bag of brussel sprout in my fridge right now- and a regular onion, not red, but plenty of garlic- this is happening tonight I think- looks right up our alley!

    I know what you mean about the Brussels Sprouts. It wasn't until roasting that I enjoyed them either. Time was, I boiled the bejeezuss out of them then buried them in as much cheese sauce as possible. My cats used to stare wondering what on earth I was burying, and then eating. They were pale green, mushy and except for the cheese sauce smelled like death. The old "boiling vegetables to the point of soup" really was abusive. Then I roasted them and have been happy ever since. It's not even the same veggie!

      Every veggie was canned and cooked to mush growing up, and it's taken me a while to be brave enough to try some of them again :)

    Brussels sprouts are definitely better roasted and like the idea of adding garlic as well.

      I also made a dish with them shaved and pan sauteed that was good. But roasting is definitely my favorite way!

      Both of my guys are serious veggie haters, but I keep on trying :) I probably didn't help foster a love for brussels sprouts with my son since I chocolate covered them for April Fools and told him it was a cake pop ;)

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker.  For the pepperoni pi
