If you want to try something a little off the beaten path, give this a whirl. (When you read this it seems like a lot of work, but it's actually easy and pretty quick.):

Trim and halve a pound of brussels sprouts.
Using a vegetable peeler, peel thick strips of lemon zest, then coarsely chop, enough to make approx. 2 teaspoons.
In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the brussels sprouts, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then arrange the brussels sprouts in an even layer, cut-side down. Scatter the lemon zest over the top and cook, undisturbed, until the brussels sprouts are well browned underneath, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of red-pepper flakes, stir and cook until the brussels sprouts are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Add an 18 oz. package of shelf-stable gnocchi to the pan, break up any that are stuck together, and cook covered and undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons (in 6 pieces) of butter, season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the butter is golden and foaming, with a nutty aroma, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir the brussels sprouts back into the pan until warmed through. Serve with grated Parmesan.

For Passover, got a nice premade dinner, low fod-map, with brisket, kugel, charoset, spinach (bitter herbs?), carrot/turnip Sautee, matzo ball soup, and, of course --- macaroons for desert. Supported by Mt. Sinai Hospital, these folks give you restaurant quality from your micro. Have only made one Seder, so I figured, what the heck. It was marvelous. Brisket was peppery and melts in your mouth. Passed-over the gefilte though, too fishy.....

For Easter, going with a very small Dakin spiral boneless petite, sweet potatoes, brussels, and a walnut-vinegar spinach salad. The Dakin is 2.5lb, great for two. Easter chocolate for desert, have way more than for two --- TY Amazon.....
