Balsamic Brussels Sprouts in a Slow Cooker

Slow Cookers offer a healthier, low-fat method of cooking and require the minimum amount of effort. I am all for minimum effort! Because I did not have room on my stove top or in the oven I decided to try these Balsamic Brussels Sprouts in a Slow Cooker. This simple appliance works really well.

Hasselback Butternut Squash with Balsamic Maple Rosemary Glaze

Hasselback is usually associated with potatoes, but you can do it to many vegetables. It's nothing more than whole vegetables cut in such a way as to resemble a fan or accordion when roasted. The outside becomes crisp and brown while the inside is soft and creamy. Hasselback Butternut Squash with Balsamic Maple Rosemary Glaze works really well using this method. It makes a beautiful side dish.

Middle Eastern Roasted Tomatoes and Chickpeas with Bulgur

I love bulgur, which is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally used to make tabbouleh and pilafs. It has a satisfying, chewy texture and mild, nutty taste. Whole wheats, like bulgur, are richer in nutrients and vitamins than refined, processed wheat, which has been stripped of many beneficial ingredients. You can use bulgar in place of wheat berries, couscous or rice in your favorite grain salad recipes. This Middle Eastern Roasted Tomatoes and Chickpeas with Bulgur is a great way to give it a try!
