Life: Enjoy and Appreciate!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Grapes with Walnuts
4 cups of small, halved brussels sprouts
2 cups grapes (red)
2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
2 TBSP fresh thyme
Course Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

     Heat the oven to 450 degrees.  On a baking sheet, toss the brussels sprouts and grapes with the oil and thyme.  Season with salt and pepper.  Roast, until caramelized and tender, about 20 minutes.  Drizzle with vinegar and scrape into a bowl.  Toss in walnuts.  Oh, so good!


"Stop seeing life as a problem to be solved and, instead, as a mystery to be enjoyed."

"The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them."
                                                                            - Gilbert Keith Chesterton
