If you thought you hated Brussell Sprouts, you've never had them like this!
You will need:
2 Slices of Bacon (I suggest using the frozen cut-down method I described in the stuffed mushroom recipe)
1 pound Brussell sprouts, ends trimmed, cut in half, stem to top
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Brown bacon in pan, remove and set aside on paper toewel
place brussell sporouts, cut side down in bacon fat in skillett
sprinkle with salt, pepper, and olive oil
stir after 5 minutes, continue to tosh brussell sprouts in skillett
Brussell sprouts are done when they have gotten brown on cut side
Add bacon back into skillett, stir together and cook an additional 5 minutes
Salt and pepper additionally to taste
ENJOY!

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
This recipe serves 2 as a side dish. Just adjust by doubling according to appetites or number of people....
What you will need:
1 cluster snow crab legs
4 white button mushrooms (large)
2 - 3 slices of bacon (tip below on how to get perfect bacon for this!)
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 fresh grated parmesian cheese
Start by steaming crab cluster...set aside to cool
Pre-heat oven to 350
spray baking sheet with non-stick spray
Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth, remove stems, set aside (you will use these) - take spoon and clean out as much of mushroom cap as possible
Bacon - Here's a tip - I keep bacon in the freezer, when I need it to flavor a dish, I cut down on the bacon - two cuts down, each about 1/2 inch thick, equals roughly two slices of bacon...
Brown bacon in a skillet - if you use the method above, you will have to seperate the pieces as the bacon starts to defrost and brown...
Remove bacon from skillet and place on paper towel to drain once it is brown and crunchy
Place onions, chopped mushroom stems and Garlic in bacon fat left in pan (I never said this was healthy!)
sautee until tender
remove from heat, place bacon bits, mushrooms, garlic and onions in large bowl
crack crab legs and place shredded crab meat in bowl with bacon, onions, and garlic - mix together
Take mixture and place heaping spoonful in each mushroom cap
Top each mushroom cap with spoonful of breadcrumbs and parmesian cheese
Place on baking sheet - if mushrooms want to roll, cut small slice off mushroom cap so it will stand straight
Place in oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or unitl breadcrumbs and parmesian cheese begin to brown
