Baked Potato and Brussels with Onions....oh my

Happy Tuesday everyone! Last nights supper was no major feast, but it sure hit the spot. My husband sent me a text yesterday afternoon to find out if I wanted a baked potato for supper. I really hadn't thought much about supper at the time, because it had been a very busy day, but a baked potato sounded good at that moment. Tony had them in the oven cooking when I got home for work (such a sweet husband), but then I was faced with what to cook to go with them. I flipped through a few cookbooks to find something, but it seemed that I didn't have all the ingredients to make whatever I found that sounded good.

I remembered that I still had brussel sprouts in the refrigerator that I had bought a few days ago and soon realized that they were about to ruin. I thought for a moment and then decided that I would saute some brussels and sliced onion together. I sauteed them in a little olive oil and added a splash of balsamic vinegar as they were cooking. I also added some salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. I squeezed some lemon juice on top after I put them on my plate.

Yes, I chopped my brussels up. :o)

I put some vegan butter, herbamare and nutritional yeast on my baked potato. I finally remembered to put nutritional yeast on my potato....YAY. I always forget about it, until I am just about finished eating it....then it's just too late. The baked potato rocked....so did the brusssel sprouts and onions! A simple but tasty meal!

  6. I've never heard of nutritional yeast on a baked potato before. I usually go the S&P and Sour Supreme and Bac'Uns route.

    The potato rocked with the nutritional yeast on it.

    Shen, no more spelling error...lol That's what happens when I do things in a hurry! I may have to get you to proof my journal papers before I turn them in... :o)

  8. That baked potato does look the business! Potatoes are so satisfying that way. I love brussel's sprouts too.

    I have to say, I like the title: I assume we should read it in the same cadence as Lions, and Tigers, and Bears...oh my! Sort of a foodie yellow brick road song.
