NOTES

KID NOTE: My kids love chicken and brussels sprouts so that part was a no brainer. I know they wouldn’t go for the tomato relish so I had a couple of carrot sticks to add to each of their plates!

VEGETARIAN TIP:  Create bruchettas. Thinly slice Japanese eggplant and portabella mushrooms and grill them until tender. Toast or pan grill slices of sourdough. Top toasted bread with grilled vegetables and tomato relish.
