Brussels Sprouts With Grapes & Walnuts

1. To make, preheat your oven to 375° F.

3. On the baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts (7 ounces) and grapes (7.5 ounces) with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 3 tablespoons shallot, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
4. Spread evenly and roast until sprouts are tender and golden brown (about 20 minutes).

Basil-Infused Skillet Roasted Corn

1. To make, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add 1 more teaspoon garlic, corn (as much as you’d prefer), and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
3. Sauté 5 minutes or until corn is tender.
4. Stir in basil (add to your liking).

3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked bacon to the paper towel lined plate.
4. Place skillet back over a low heat.
