Spaghetti and Brussels Sprouts

Dh really doesn't like Spaghetti, never has. I can only get away with making it very infrequently. He'll eat it, but he just doesn't love it.

Well, here it is: Whole wheat spaghetti with sauce, roasted Brussels Sprouts, and sauteed mushrooms. At least I liked it!!




Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts, cut in half, with the outer leaves removed
Garlic, minced
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Lightly toss the sprouts and garlic in enough olive oil to coat, and sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350 (or 400 maybe) degrees for about 15 minutes.

Okra

We were at a local vegetable stand that had some fresh picked okra. I thought to myself, "Ok, I'll try it again". Okra takes some getting used to. I'm not used to it yet. That slimy inside is just not always pleasant.

I tried roasted okra, inspired by Susan of FatFreeVegan.

I added thinly sliced garlic.

We are still trying to like Okra.
