Roasted broccoli nachos

Broccoli nachos?  Genius!!  We roasted ours with coconut oil instead of olive oil- it's our new favorite way to roast vegetables.  Then just top with whatever you like!

Grilled cheese with Brussels sprouts and apple

Grilled Cheese with Harvarti, Brussels Sprouts and Apple
Serves 2

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped shallot

2 cups (6 ounces) thinly shredded Brussels sprouts

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil spray or butter

4 slices whole wheat Tuscan bread (we used a rye and pumpernickel swirl)

4 ounces light Havarti cheese, shredded

2 Granny Smith apples, halved and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices

Heat skillet over medium heat. Add oil and shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper to taste, and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until the sprouts are crisp and slightly browned on the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Spray one side of each slice of bread with olive oil and place two slices, oiled side down, into the skillet. Top each piece of bread with 1 ounce of the cheese. Divide Brussels sprouts between the bread slices, then add a layer of apple slices and remaining cheese. Top with the remaining bread, oiled side up, and cook until the bottom piece of bread is golden, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Use spatula to carefully flip sandwiches. Cook until the second slices of bread are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Creamy queso

We tried a new queso (aka cheese dip) recipe last week and fell in love.  This is a creamy queso with no chunks, so my pickiest daughter was especially pleased she didn't have to dig around any tomatoes or peppers.  I don't have a photo because this recipe actually comes from a YouTube cooking channel called Cooking Today.  Recipe credit to Amy Hannon, who lives in Northwest Arkansas - she owns a precious store called Euna Mae's, a blog of the same name, and this cooking channel where she shares some delicious recipes!

EUNA MAE'S CREAMY QUESO
1lb Mexican Velveeta (I used regular because its what I had)
4 oz cream cheese
½ cup half and half or whole milk (I used skim)
Juice of one can of Rotel tomatoes (yes, just the juice!  Rreally push down on the tomatoes in the can to get all the juice out)
2-3 tsp juice of jarred jalapenos (again, just the juice!)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp chili powder

Combine all ingredients in a pan over low heat, stirring until melted. Taste and season to taste, adding more milk or liquid to get desired consistency.
