Broccoli Brussel Sprout Tots

Well, let me tell you, these were not amazing.  Perhaps it was because I decided to experiment with adding brussel sprouts.  Perhaps it was just not amazing to begin with.  I may never know.  I don't know if I'd like to try the original recipe that I wrote down.  I'm not sure if I was drunk when I wrote the original recipe down or what in the world happened.  I wrote that it came from a website called whatstheovenfor.com, but when I look for it, it doesn't exist. Wth?!

Anyway, here's my recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups frozen broccoli
• 1 cup frozen brussel sprouts
• 1 egg
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep ingredients as described above (chop, mince).
2. Stir fry onions and garlic until onions are translucent.
3. Add everything to food processor and process well.
4. Shape into little pieces of shit.
5. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
6. Enjoy!

Carrot Sticks Snacks

I bought a giant bag of carrots from Sam's Club and planned to make carrot sticks for snacks and make stew or some kind of soup.  The soup never happened, but I had a lot of snacks, which was the main reason I got them in the first place.  I needed to choose better snacks and this is one of them.

Washing, peeling, and cutting up big carrots is tedious.  But I prefer the harder, crunchier texture of them over baby carrots.  Baby carrots are actually the carrot rejects that have been shredded down because they were deformed.  No offense to the carrot rejects, but the baby carrots are softer and seem to always be really wet and get slimy if kept too long.  They're great for convenience, if that's what you need.
