While the brussel sprouts are cooking put the next 5 ingredients into a blender or use a hand blender and mix. Poor over brussel sprouts when they're done like a dressing and grate parmesan cheese over the top. These are not your mothers boiled brussel sprouts. The flavor changes with the roasting and they get soft and have a completely different taste.

Potato Leek Mash



My Esthetician gave me this idea



2 pototoes I used Yukon gold

1 sweet potato not a yam, the flesh should be light yellow

2 leeks white part only


Cut all these up, cover with water, she uses a bullion cube, I used a product called "better than bullion" if you've got neither I cook it in chicken broth until tender. When done remove most of the liquid and used a mixer or hand blender to puree the mixture. No salt, no pepper, no butter and all I can say is mmm mmmm good.
