Usually that occurs when I see amazing sweets or decadent desserts, like Mama Pea’s s’mores pie or The Pioneer Woman’s caramel apple sticky buns, but every once in a while a veggie dish catches my eye.
That happened earlier this week when I was catching up on blog posts through my Google Reader.
Jessica, queen of all things butter and bacon, actually had me drooling over Brussels sprouts. She posted a recipe for shredded sprouts salad that called for shredded Brussels sprouts, bacon and cheese. I knew I had to make it!
I loosely followed her recipe and enjoyed a delicious shredded Brussels sprouts salad for lunch this afternoon.
Last night I roasted Brussels sprouts in the oven after tossing them in olive oil, garlic salt and pepper.
I then shredded the roasted sprouts in my food processor before topping them with Parmesan cheese and crumbled Morningstar Farms veggie bacon.
This salad was great! Unfortunately I ran out of Parmesan cheese as I was topping my salad. More Parm would’ve taken this salad to the next level!
Jessica, you are one smart cookie.
Back to work!
yum!
Oh gosh, don’t even get me STARTED on the love of Mama Pea’s recipes 😉 I have so many on my to-do list, haha!
This recipe looks amazing, and Jessica is one smart cookie. Brussel sprouts are amazing!
Hope you’re having a great Thursday Julie!
i know! mama pea is amazing. her daughters may be the cutest little girls on the planet.
Pretty sure they are, for sure 🙂
I really hope I can experiment and begin liking more veggies…right now my list consists of: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn, peas, asparagus, spinach, romaine lettuce, artichokes
This looks really good! I’m just picky. 🙁
That salad looks great except for the bacon. I’m not a big bacon fan. Brussel sprouts are delish! I just tried them for the first time a few months ago! 🙂
Just what I was going to say!
I’ve favorited this recipe from Jessica’s blog too ! Can’t wait to make it 🙂 Brussel sprouts are my new fav,, can’t believe it took me so long to discover them !
Mmmm now I want it for dinner!

I’m DYING to know your honeymoon plans! Don’t tease us!

Haha okay, deal!
I loved that you subbed the veggie bacon for the real stuff- I’d never even thought to do that!! I always DROOL over Jessica’s recipes, but I’m not quite as much of a bacon lover as she is 🙂 Your way is a great veg-friendly option!!
I LOVE brussel sprouts…have to try this recipe.
Thank you
It’s been far too long since I’ve had brussel sprouts! In need to pick some up from the store soon.
i love her blog, she always has the best recipes! Your brussels sprout salad looks so so good! Parmesan cheese makes everything better!
OMG! I made the brussel sprouts salad too after seeing it on Jessica’s blog!! Genius 🙂
I am always reading blog posts thinking, “oh, I need to make that!” I have a pretty lengthy “recipes to try” list.
That salad looks pretty good!
Thanks for sharing this. I have been having trouble getting to Jessica’s website this week. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I definitely missed this one. I’ve been wanting to dive into making brussels sprouts myself but have been a bit nervous about it. This looks pretty easy and delicious! 🙂
Brussel sprouts are now on my grocery list! It has been far too long since I’ve had them! Thanks! 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try this ever since I found a similar recipe on 101 Cookbooks. It looks so good!
I saw this on her blog and wanted to make it immediately. YUM!!
I love love love brussel sprouts and I am always looking for things to do with them. My Uncle makes a killer dish with brussel sprouts, soy sauce, and lemon juice
I love Brussels Sprouts! Neeeed to make this salad.
I think my favorite Thanksgiving dish is stuffing:)
I do not trust you on this one Lil’ J…brusselsprouts are the only veggie I don’t like…and beets.
