Here's what you'll need:

Preheat the Oven to 400 degrees.

2 Sheet Pans

Aluminum Foil


15 Small  Brussels Sprouts ( make sure they're not Large, they are too tough for this recipe)

Roast for 15 - 20  minutes.

Remove Pan to a Rack to Cool for 10 minutes.


In a Small Bowl, prepare the Spice Blend:

Mix well and set aside.


Trim off the Root end of the Sprouts, cut them in half  and place them Cut Side Down ( keeping them on the Pan)

Put another Sheet Pan on top of them and gently Press down to Flatten them Slightly.

Season on both sides with the Spice Blend.

 Spoon a little less than 1 TBS of the Parmesan Cheese on the Sheet Pan, under each Sprout. Keeping the Cut Side Down on the Cheese

Peanut Butter Cookies

 I created this new recipe to make Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies using Monkfruit Sugar Free Sweetener. Monkfruit Sweetener is used 1 - 1 equal to regular Sugars.

I buy it in Granulated, Powdered and Brown. 

This happens to be one of my favorite cookies. I love peanuts, peanut butter and these cookies.

These are very simple and that's one of the appealing things about them. 





Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

A 1 1/2" Cookie Scoop


1 C Peanut Butter (your choice of Creamy or Crunchy) 
1 C Monkfruit Powdered Sugar
1 Egg
1 TBS  Vanilla

Add all ingredients to a Mixing Bowl and Mix to combine well.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Scoop the Dough using the Cookie Scoop onto the Sheet Pan.

Flatten each cookie with a fork in a criss-cross pattern. ( I use a small Fork dipped in hot water to make it easier to release the Fork)

Bake 8 - 10 minutes ( I baked mine for 8 minutes)

Remove Pan from the oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
Transfer cookies to the rack and cool completely.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
