I was in Austin the past few days for the SxSW Interactive Festival and I’m exhausted! I had 5 days of panels and networking and 5 nights of beer and parties. I learned a ton, met a billion people and ate a whole lot of delicious food, but I was so glad to be home last night. I really missed home-cooked meals and my big, soft bed.
Since we got home at 9pm last night, I wanted to make something quick and healthy. I sauteed some peppered turkey bacon and sliced brussel sprouts with a bit of Shoyu and maple syrup and topped them off with a couple of poached eggs. It was slightly sweet and savory and so satisfying after week straight of eating out. A lovely weeknight meal.

I really wanted to make a simple pasta. Something in the traditional vein of olive oil, garlic and Parmesan. But if I leave it simple as that, I often find myself eating at least half a pound of pasta. Not quite as healthy as I’d like, but that was often my hangover cure in college, and I just can’t seem to stop myself around big bowls of noodles. So, in the interest of health, I wanted to add some kind of vegetable to cut the carbiness (Is that a word?) of the dish. I decided on brussel sprouts because they looked so fresh at the supermarket and because I’ve been wanting to try them raw (or close to it) dressed with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper as a salad. This was close enough.
The final dish was tangy, light and flavorful and came together in less that 30 minutes. A total winner that will surely be added to the weekly roster.
