Parm/Garlic Flatbread

I made pizza dough the other day and had some leftover while a Gold Cup soccer game was on I whipped this flat bread up. (p.s. soccer is life in our house) 

My husband, son and I chomped it up while we cheered on team USA....they fell flat. (get it??, ha!)

Zucch/Corn

This zucchini and corn side dish is so flavorful. Lime juice, Parmesan say what??!! It somehow comes together to make this dish POP! Fresh corn is a MUST. I do not stand for crummy old frozen/canned corn.

Bacon & Brussel Sprouts

The thought of brussel sprouts just weirds me out UNTIL we had them like this.

I grabbed a few handfuls from the store...so about 20 of them.

Rinse off, cut the ends off & cut into quarters

(I also peeled the outside layers off that were floppy looking)

thinly slice one shallot (like a small onion)

cut 4 slices of bacon into small pieces

add 1 T olive oil to skillet over medium heat

add bacon, shallots & cook until bacon is done

add brussel sprout to bacon drippings in pan and cook until tender (only takes a few minutes)

season with salt & pepper
