I can't help it - my Instagram is all food pictures. Happily, fall means that it's brussel sprouts season. Believe it or not, I actually never had these until a few years ago. As many of you pointed out, they have a bad reputation but are quite tasty and very versatile. And so cute too, these mini cabbages. Hrrmm, I wonder if anyone has ever tried making kimchi out of them. I found a wonderful baked homemade
chicken nugget recipe as well - incredibly easy and way healthier than the fast food restaurant kind. You don't have to feel guilty about eating 20 of these! Lastly, this past weekend I went to a restaurant that was part of the local cooking institute, staffed and run by its students. If you have one of these in your area, you should really go give it a shot. Not only is it cool seeing the students working in the big open kitchen but you also get to be a part of their learning experience. The value at this particular restaurant was unbeatable and they served quite possibly the most delicious sweetbreads that I've ever had.
What dining adventures have you been on recently? I'm in La La Land and you can bet I'll have plenty of food pictures from this trip!
Oh yum yum yum! Your food pictures always make me drool! I am also glad you are a fellow B
ReplyDeletebrussel sprouts fan (they are gorgeous with bit of bacon)!
I love brussel sprouts too. I guess they have a bad reputation because children generally don't like them - too bitter - but parents make them eat them. but bitter doesn't work for children. like coffee. it's a taste you acquire later. I know so many people who hated them as children and haven't tried them since. that's too bad. yum yum. with bacon :)
ReplyDeleteBrussels sprouts are so cute and delicious! I never understood why they are given such bad rep :( Oh, I've always wanted to try out these type of restaurants, but there's none here. (There's nothing here) =__="
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking at food pictures, but I love eating them more XD I haven't got to any nice restaurant recently…so I'm definitely inspired by your post to do so :)

That's okay, mine is all food too (mostly). What's your Instagram name? I'll have to look for you!
ReplyDeletePoor little brussel sprouts-they're so misunderstood! As for me, my latest dish to try was squash and black bean enchiladas. They were delicious, if I do say so myself! :)
ReplyDeleteBrussels are new to me too. I can thank Neel for broadening a lot of my food horizons. Brussels are part of that. We do them with olive oil and salt and a bit of lemon juice. That's all. Cal hates them still, and he's a very adventurous eater. I hold out hope. Yay fall.
ReplyDeleteMmm, brussel sprouts are one of my favorite veggies...I think I ate them at LEAST once a week last winter. They're so good roasted. I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at food pictures...they always inspire me to try something new!
ReplyDeleteWe do have a culinary school and restaurant here in Philly that I've been meaning to try. It's cheaper than a meal at a restaurant and you're right, you get to be a part of their learning experience. The same is technically true for beauty colleges, but I'm not brave enough to offer my hair up for a learning curve, haha.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteHooray for brussels sprouts!!
ReplyDeleteYour instagram pictures are the best, I always suffer from cookers block (like writers block?) and your instagram feed helps to give me ideas :)
that sounds like an awesome place! and oreos...oh man, i love those, and they just don't taste the same here in switzerland :(
ReplyDeleteOH! I love this. Please make this a weekly feature because I just love knowing what people are eating. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad brussel sprouts are in season now! Also, I never thought I would ever say that sentence. I used to hate them ... until the boyfriend made sauteed brussel sprouts with prosciutto! So good!!
ReplyDeleteyes! finally, halloween oreos are HERE!
ReplyDeletelet's all rejoice, shall we?!
xo the egg out west.
Honestly I love seeing food pics. Me and chris are going out of town to dallas this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to snap a few at some new places.

I definitely need to try this homemade chicken nugget recipe. My boys are obsessed!!
ReplyDeleteIsn´t that funny - I always get the itch to take food pics with my iPhone but not as much with my regular camera. I may feel too much pressure with that one - with the iPhone it´s ok and even charming if it doesn´t end up perfect! Love your pics! :-)
ReplyDeleteI need to give that recipe a shot!
ReplyDeleteI love Brussels sprouts! One of the few veggies that I eat.
ReplyDeleteLUXESSED
yum!! i'm hungry again.
ReplyDeleteBrussels sprouts scare me. BUT if they were presented to me as kimchi...I would totally have to reconsider
ReplyDeleteOMG. Those oreos!!! =O
ReplyDeleteUmm... how do you cook your brussel sprouts? I like them, but I have such a hard time convincing my husband to try them (again). Ha.
