These Hearty Brussels Sprouts ‘n Crumbles with Walnuts would be a delicious vegetarian addition to your holiday table – but, they are hearty enough to be enjoyed as is, as well – just check out the easy recipe below.

I cannot wait for December. Hands down, it is my favorite month! Not only is it a happening month with Christmas and New Year sandwiching one glorious week of leftovers and Netflix-marathoning for us, but it’s also the month in which my daughter was born! And, I’m all for celebrating her birthday all month long!

Oooh – but before that there is Thanksgiving – in T.W.O. DAYS!!!
Boyohboy!!!
If you are hosting, are you all prepped and ready?
Or… do you happen to be a master procrastinator – like your’s truly?

In case you happen to leave all your menu planning till the the night before… then, boyohboy, do I have a recipe for you in the form of these Hearty Brussels Sprouts ‘n Crumbles!

Brussels Sprouts are a favorite in our home. Roasted, Boiled, or burnt to a crisp (almost) we lap ’em up like they are going out of season (lucky for us, Walmart always seems to carry them in the produce section and I’m crossing my fingers this doesn’t end anytime soon). In years past, when my daughter was a meat-eater, we used to enjoy Brussels Sprouts with bacon around the holidays. But, seeing she is on year 2 as a bona fide vegetarian, I feel I must do my part and make sure there are plenty of vegetarian eats on the table during the holidays AND her birthday AND practically everyday in December (seeing it’s her birthday month and all!).

With that said, MorningStar Farms^® products have been our go-to when we are rushed and looking for hearty, quick, easy, and healthier-lifestyle-supporting, veggie cuisine. I stumbled on them when I was a vegetarian in college many, many, many years ago – and, now my daughter enjoys everything from their burgers to MorningStar Farms^® Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles™ to MorningStar Farms^® Grillers® Crumbles™ to MorningStar Farms^® Chik’n Strips! Even though I don’t call myself a vegetarian these days, I still enjoy MorningStar Farms^® products as they are just so darn tasty! Y’all just have to “Taste It To Believe It“.

MorningStar Farms® Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles™: Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles are flavored with our blend of bold southwest spices, adding a punch of flavor to chili, tacos or mom’s famous sauce. With 8g of protein per serving, these crumbles are over-achievers.

MorningStar Farms® Grillers® Crumbles™: Grillers Crumbles had a middle name, it would be “versatility.” Cook up a veggie sloppy joe or add to spaghetti to have a flavorful meatless Italian dinner. These crumbles contain 75% less fat than regular ground beef, and have 9 grams of protein, making them welcome veggie addition to almost any dish.

And, speaking of tasty leads us back to these Hearty Brussels Sprouts ‘n Crumbles with walnuts, onions, 4 cloves of garlic (now you know why I’m still single) and a bit of smoked paprika and turmeric. I used MorningStar Farms^® Grillers^® Crumbles™ in this dish, but, you could use MorningStar Farms^® Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles™ as well. These would be so enjoyed as a side dish at your holiday table (MorningStar Farms^® products are not only for vegetarians – y’all, they are for everyone!).

Aaaannnnnd, these Hearty Brussels Sprouts ‘n Crumbles could also be used to stuff puff pastry baskets or cups and be enjoyed as an appetizer!
I am trying to stop my procrasti-baking and procrasti-cleaning and procrasti-everything ways – so I’m trying to plan ahead for our NYE appetizer spread and I’m thinking these Hearty Brussels Sprouts ‘n Crumbles in puff pastry baskets will most definitely be on our appetizer platter!

I picked up packages of MorningStar Farms^® Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles™, MorningStar Farms^® Grillers^® Crumbles™ and MorningStar Farms^® Chik’n Strips from the frozen food section at my local Walmart.
