Our new favorite breakfast:
Crepes
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
3 Tbs melted butter
Butter, for coating the pan
1. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
2. Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.
3. Savory Variation Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the egg mixture.
4. Sweet Variation Add 21/2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur to the egg mixture.
We slice up fresh strawberries, or use whole raspberries, but you can use whatever fruit is your favorite, or make it non-sweet and throw in other breakfast foods (bacon, potatoes, eggs, mushrooms, steak, etc). If making sweet crepes, skip the store-bought Cool Whip and make your own cream filling with Heavy Whipping Cream and powdered sugar blended to taste. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips to drizzle chocolate over the top. Pig out! tongue:
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

See article for recipe and optional ingredients - it looks dee-lish!When I come down with a cold, I avoid treating it with pharmaceuticals that mask symptoms. Instead, I try to ramp up my immune system to fight the cold back the hippie way: with herbs and vitamin C and the like.
But there's no doubt that cold symptoms—sore throat, stuffed nose, irritated sinuses, lethargy—really, really suck. For more years than I care to calculate, I've been fighting these vexations with a fiery soup, loosely based on a Mexican specialty called sopa de tortilla.

9. Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad With Apples And Walnuts
Recipe
LOL! Hubby's done this on regular sized cabbage heads, no way would I go there with teeny tiny brussel sprouts!Now that I’ve told you to use a mandoline to shave Brussels sprouts, you have to promise me something. Swear to me you will never ever even think about trying to cut a sprout on a mandoline without wearing a no-cut glove on your hand. Swear it to me. Right now. On the grave of all the Brussels sprouts that have come before.
I don’t care how careful you are, if you try to use a mandoline to slice Brussels sprouts without proper hand protection, you will (WILL!) cut yourself. And no, those little hand guard things that come with your mandoline don’t count (I swear I cut myself MORE when I use those things). Trust me, the $12 you spent on the no-cut gloves are well worth it to avoid the pain and suffering of getting your fingers sliced off on your mandoline. This salad is good, but it’s not good enough for you to lose any flesh. Just don’t, k? I care about you too much.
The Strawberry Cucumber Salad looks too pretty to eat!

So tonight hubby made a new brussels sprout recipe that was to die for! Lil Science Dude (I should probably find a better name for him since I only come up to his nose 
now) and I went to town mowing them down. Dee-lish!
This is the recipe, though he modified it some. We didn't have any garlic (it had gone bad) so he substituted dried roasted garlic from Penzey's and he forgot the 2nd Tbsp of parmesan, then he accidentally put the pesto on them before baking instead of tossing halfway through. They still turned out crispy though.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Mint Pesto
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen
From: Food Network Magazine
Yields 4 servings
Directions
Puree 1 cup fresh mint with 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons each grated parmesan and toasted hazelnuts, 1 garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Toss 1 1/2 pounds halved trimmed Brussels sprouts with olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Toast at 425 degrees F, tossing halfway through, until golden and tender, 25 minutes; toss with the mint pesto.
