Mad props for doing this. Animals deserve dignity. Every effort is meaningful.

I am a huge animal rights believer and I really do not agree with needing animals dead to survive. I am tired of being a part of that way of living. I am against hunting of any sort, for food and especially hunting for fun as a sport.

Anyways, I am taking it one day at a time. I quit smoking almost seven years ago and I quit drinking soda two or three years ago. So I know I have the will power stored to break an addiction.

I am also excited about the benefits of being healthier by giving up meat.

Wish me luck along my new journey!

My test kitchen (me tossing things around) created a winner last night!

Dirty Brussels
by Hollylane

16 oz Brussels Sprouts
Big handful of shredded cheddar (animal enzyme free)
2 small handfuls of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbs salted butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper (learn from my mistakes, when pinching cayenne, make sure you wash your hands afterward, and keep your cayenne pinchers out of your eyes)
1/2 cup 1/2 & 1/2
1/3 cup of fine, seasoned bread crumbs (I get some great bread crumbs from my local whole foods bakery)
1 tbs EVOO
1 tbs crushed almonds

Cook Brussels (this could mean steam, roast, grill, however you like them texturally, will be the way that you cook them. I was feeling lazy, and I steamed them this time) until done. Set aside.

Mix together bread crumbs, EVOO, 1 small handful of Parmesan cheese, and crushed almonds. Set aside.

In a sauce pan bring 1/2 & 1/2 to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, then add remaining Parmesan cheese, shredded cheddar, butter, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat, and add Brussels, stirring until well combined.

Pour Brussels and cheese sauce into a small glass baking dish, and top with bread crumb mixture. Broil until topping is golden brown.

Tonight I made a Jewish recipe (or a spin on one) commonly served for Passover (the Jewish Easter

). I had a wholewheat matza (unleavened bread, like a large square cracker) with a mix of apples, horseradish, chopped walnuts, and redwine/balsamic vinegar (called charoset, pictured -not mine- below). Normally red wine and honey would be added but I skipped those because I didn't have them around

. It was good.
