This brussels sprouts hash and eggs is a great light lunch or side dish. The brussels sprouts get salty and tangy from the olive and lemon, then crispy and caramelized on the bottom.

When the weather turns cool, I only want to eat warm, flavorful food—in comes roasted vegetables season. Roasting is easy, it warms up the kitchen, and it makes the house smell like the holidays.

So here’s a weekday meal inspired by our Thanksgiving using the ubiquitous boneless, skinless chicken breasts, a pile of brussels and a simple to whip together, chipotle-honey sauce.
