Brussels Sprouts Saute

January 30, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

I will admit that I wouldn’t consider eating a Brussels Sprout a few months ago. I don’t like cabbage, and they are just minature cabbage, right? So, no way would I get near one with a 10-foot pole. But, as I may have mentioned before, some of the girls at work were raving about how they love them and so on, so I tried them awhile back and discoverd that, if cooked well, I actually do like them!!
I know, I know…but really, the key is cooking them correctly. Undercooked leaves them a little hard, and quite bitter – which is not at all appealing or appetizing. But roasted or pan-sauteed to soft, browned, and caramelized perfection they are quite amazing.  I’ve seen quite a few recipes floating around lately, and when I saw this one, I decided to give it a go. Now, the original calls for prosciutto, and I recommend trying that, but I didn’t have any on-hand so I omitted that part of the recipe. Give these little buggers (not boogers!) a try and maybe – just maybe – you will be a believer too!!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
