Doughnuts and Brussels Sprouts...

Its been a few days, but alas, I have made time to add a little snippet. I found it particularly challenging today...wanted a donut so badly. Every Monday, my will power is tempted by the Krispy Kreme donuts that our Marketing director picks up for our Monday meetings. I just have to make it through the meeting and for a short time following the meetings and usually they disappear on their own, without my intervention. Usually, its not a problem, but today, I was tempted. Not enough to go and pick one up and lick it, but just slightly more than normal. But, I managed to forget about them soon enough and noticed that they alas had disappeared before lunch. Whew!

I made it to the gym after work and decided that I need to try some new veggies. Last night, I whipped up some roasted veggies that were really fantastically good. Got the recipe from a Betty Crocker cookbook on casseroles. I tried the same method of preparation and cooking for some Brussels sprouts. Though, this time I added onion and just a few bacon bits (everything is better with bacon). I coated it in a small amount of olive oil...salt and pepper to taste and baked for 30 minutes in 400 degree oven. Voila...a way to like sprouts!
