A Good Meal

Saturday was a Ski Swap down the area that I ski at in the winter. They don’t have much snow, yet, but today was their big Swap, Sale, Event, so Hubby and I got up early and headed down to Gunstock Mountain.

When we arrived I was shocked to see so many cars and people waiting to get in. We waited a good half an hour before going in. Was I ever glad that I had dressed warmly!

We looked at everything from books to poles, to skis, to clothes. And in the end…we bought nothing, but I was able to pick up my Season Ticket, so the trip was not for nothing!

After we stopped and stocked up on food for the dogs, especially their little biscuits! Then we came home and .I worked all afternoon to prepare Hubby a nice dinner. In the last few weeks I’ve totally blown a few of our dinners, so I was trying my hardest to score a good one!

I did and you can find the recipe HERE

I served it up with some mashed potatoes and a recipe I have for brussel sprouts. Here is the recipe for the brussel sprouts!

Brussel Sprout Saute

1 pound of Brussel sprouts
3-4 slices of bacon
1 tbs. olive oil
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. salt
fresh ground pepper
1 small onion chopped
In saucepan boil Brussel sprouts about 5-8 minutes or until sprouts are tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

In non stick skillet cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set on paper towel to cool. In the frying pan add onion and cook until the onion is cooked. Add garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Stir well. Cut the sprouts in half and add them and cook until the Brussel sprouts begin to brown. Place in serving bowl and crumble bacon over the top. Serve hot! Enjoy!

Yes, it was a good meal!
