Pan Seared Brussles with Cranberries & Pecans

Without realizing, you may have already laid your peepers on this flavorful side as it often accompanies the standard crowd-pleasing chicken breast. I make it at least once every two weeks, especially this time of year.

So many of you asked for the how-to of these brussels! And I’m happy to indulge. You’ll love this dish because it is versatile with many entrees AND the ingredients are available year-round, especially in autumn (bonus!).

PAN-SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES & PECANS
Serves 3-4

1 pound brussels sprouts, de-stemed and halved
2/3 cup fresh cranberries
1/3 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (or goat in my instance)
1/3 cup pecans
1/2 cup barley
1 tablespoon Walden Farms Chemical Pancake syrup or straight up 100% Maple Syrup
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp Olive oil
Salt & pepper

Prepare barley according to package instructions. Heat brussels sprouts, cranberries, and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes.

Massive gym with no contracts and always room to lift. Also you can drop the weights and use chalk. Gotta love it

Good gym, friendly staff, trainers to meet all sorts of goals. Great addition of a massage studio.

Large space, lots of equipment. Even when there is a lot of people there it doesn't feel crowded. You also get a free session with a trainer so even if you are new to working out, you can learn how to use the equipment safely and proper technique. Really the only negatives are the small change room and the lack of parking when it's busy. But it's still better than Evolution Fitness.
