Sprinkle the sausage on the veggies, and crack eggs over the veggies making sure not to break any of the yolk. When I reheat I usually put everything in a preheated cast iron on 425 F and re-roast for 10-15 minutes until everything is hot! If you want to crack eggs on the leftovers, put everything in the pre-heated cast iron, heat for 5-8 minutes on 425 F and then add eggs for the remaining 8-10 minutes.

n’t have time, we get busy with our kids, shopping for gifts, or even attending Christmas Parties.

Trust me it makes clean up super easy and your friends will totally be impressed with how this silverware looks on your table. You can use plastic silverware, melamine plates, and mason jar glasses… When you get ready for dinner have everyone bring both plates (salad and dinner plate).

But I love pumpkins and this year I decorated with pumpkins from Sarah Frey over at Frey Farms. So needless to say, when I met Sarah in a local boutique in downtown Bentonville (and yes, I recognized her… because who doesn’t fan girl over a pumpkin farmer??) : Have fun with stacking pumpkins – mix and match colors, shapes and sizes for some fun personality! And duh… pumpkins in food (no brainer) Click here for all of the pumpkin recipes including hummus, pumpkin bread, pumpkin grilled cheese, and more….

But these Brussel Sprout Chips are amazing with this homemade Honey Dijon Sauce! I made it with a Honey Dijon Dipping Sauce and instead of making these with a balsamic reduction or a glaze… That makes me think… this dipping sauce would actually be good with Endives and if you are making these at Christmas you could put some Cranberry or Fig jam on the top of the dipping sauce for some color for the dish.

They are super easy and really fun to make especially if you need a fun Halloween Party activity for kiddos. How to make them: Use half an Oreo (or the full Oreo) with green frosting and a Hershey kiss for the hat.
