In an attempt to spend more time on myself, cook more and thus, blog more, I bring you my first Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal. Quick posts of the meals I decide to make myself instead of assembling a bowl of cereal. Living alone just makes it too easy to be lazy. Especially when the event of dinner centres around good television or a good magazine. Tonight it was Real Time with Bill Maher accompanied by broiled halibut, steamed Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes au gratin.
Halibut: broiled for 10 minutes, glazed before cooking with an eyeballed mix of a little olive oil, a little honey, a little more dijon mustard, salt, pepper and chili flakes.
Brussels sprouts: trimmed, large ones halved, steamed for about 8 minutes.
Potatoes: Yukon golds boiled until tender, mashed with about 2 tablespoons of warm milk and a little melted butter, salt and pepper. Topped with a few tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Broiled for about 5 minutes (with fish).

Looks really great! I love the brussels sprouts. A nice splash of green on your plate.
