Introducing my Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts!  In my experience, Brussels sprouts often get a bad wrap.  Check out any kids movie or book and you’ll be sure to find some child wincing at the sight of them or secretly trying to feed them to the dog.  I mean, I was reading a book of short stories to the kid once and there was an entire story devoted to the avoidance of these little green gems. Truthfully, it was really funny but that’s besides the point.  Brussels sprouts are not the enemy people!  In fact, I’d like to think they’re the unsung hero of the veggie world… too far? 🙂

Griddled Eggplant Salad

I’ve been going to a few BBQs lately.  A barbie is a great way to celebrate a milestone without stressing yourself out or over-complicating things.  However, often for a veggie like me, a BBQ means I have to eat beforehand or make do with a bread roll and some iceberg lettuce.  And I’m cool with that.  I don’t expect any special treatment.

Italian cuisine has always been an inspiration to me in the kitchen.  I love how it tastes and how easy it can be to create at home.
