Thoughts While Watching The Super Bowl:
Pink is flawless.
Heh. I ordered a Philly. Didn’t even mean to.
Tom Brady looks like a middle schooler with that haircut.
Do the helmets normally come off that easily?
*sharp inhale* Almost!
Why does JT look like some hipster from San Souci?
This wine is delicious.
Senorita, I feel for you. (Feel for youuuuuu.)
Wait. That was the quarterback who caught that? Cool!
I ate, I drank, I laughed with friends. All in all, a solid Sunday regardless of whoever won the Big Game. But now we’re back on that Monday grind and need to enjoy a big ol’ salad to celebrate the last of winter citrus and the end of Buffalo Chicken Dip/Football season.

1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
1 pound of Brussels Sprouts, cleaned and shaved*
Pomegranate arils
Freshly grated asiago cheese

Blood Orange Vinaigrette

1 tsp. whole grain mustard
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

*I shave my Brussels using a really sharp knife but a kitchen mandolin can make the process quicker provided you are careful as can be.
*dressing adapted from Wonky Wonderful

Looks good - I love grilled brussels sprouts but that's the only way I've ever had them. This looks pretty good.

Oh you should try! They're delish when raw! I have another recipe for pan fried brussels with bacon and caramelized onions on here - check the archives!

Blood orange vinaigrette sounds like a really good addition to this salad! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Here is a recipe for calzones that I recently made and they were a great dinner. Hope you check these out and you enjoy them 🙂
