Brussels Sprout and Potatoes Hash with Oregano

Brussels Sprout and Potatoes Hash with Oregano

 

 

Story

I created this recipe this morning. I wanted to make a nice breakfast for my son as he was going back to college but noticed I had only 3 potatoes and needed to feed 4. Looked in the fridge and saw the Brussels sprout and thought why not. This is also a great way to add vegetables to you breakfast.  Oregano is an herb I grow in my garden and love the smell and taste of it.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon of Canola Oil
• 1 cup of chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 3 small Thai chilies (add less or not at all if you don't like it hot)
• Freshly ground black pepper to personal preference
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cup of Brussels Sprout cut in small quarter
• 3 cups of Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces2 tablespoon fresh oregano

 

Procedures

1. Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions in the oil until the onions are caramelized. Add garlic powder, Thai chili, ground pepper and salt and fry for another 30 seconds.
2. Add potatoes and Brussels sprout in the pan and stir to mix. Add 1/4 cup of water and cover the pan and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned. Add chopped Oregano 1 minute before taking the pan off the stove. Serve with egg and turkey bacon.

 

 

 

Healthy Eating

It’s been 3 years since we, my husband and I, started our new journey to healthy eating. I joined Weight Watchers (http://www.weightwatchers.com) at work and lost about 5 pounds before my husband decided to join as well.

We learned several really good basic habits from weight watchers: have lots of vegetables and fruits, fiber and water. At the time my diet didn't really include many vegetables.

Now going into 3rd year of our journey, I love vegetables as long as I mix it up and try to do something different every time.

My goal for this blog is to add recipes of my weekly cooking which usually includes vegetables, fish, chicken and beans. This will also help me research about healthy foods and share my findings.

The title of my blog "Add a little spice to your life" implies you can add spice to your food just like you would to your life to keep it fun and exciting. Spice does not mean spicy or hot, it just means you are using different spices and herbs to keep your food interesting and delicious.
