Hi Stephanie, I fixed the text, looks like it got messed up when I went to a newer version of wordpress. Sorry about that – and enjoy!

Is it my pc or do the measurements look off. I want to make this recipe but don’t know what the exact measurements are

1 lb fresh Brussel sprouts (you can also use frozen), steamed – we got ours of course from the Farmers Market.
6 mini red-skinned potatoes
Â½ large onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 TBS tomato paste
Â¼ cup sun dried tomatoes
Â¼ cup home made balsamic vinaigrette (it is pretty creamy because I use a touch of dijon mustard)

I try to eat Brussels sprouts evey day, they are the

butter and salt for one minute, Extra treat add
bacon to your taste.

Thanks

I thought I was the ONLY sprout fan! Your pics look delish. I think I will substitute some Brussel sprouts for broccoli in my next dish.

Thanks for trying to put Brussels sprouts on the table with that recipe. A lot of people really don’t like the little vegetables because they may be overcooking them. Overcooking Brussels sprouts releases the pungent sulfurous odor they’re known for. When boiling Brussels sprouts, let them sit for no 7-10 minutes max. When they’re ready, they should be just tender and have a sweet but nutty taste. Here’s another good Brussels sprouts recipe from ChefMD if you are interested in more http://www.chefmd.com/recipe_display.php?id=48

Well…to be perfectly honest, I had a bad experience with them as a child…but that was back when I used to loathe beets, and now I LOOOVE them…so I might have to give these little, green balls of veggie fun a try again. Oh, and I meant to tell you, I love the concept of your blog! I hate wasting, so I always try to use leftovers; my big thing is turning everything into something I can roll up in a tortilla and have for lunch the next day! This works best with meat .

I love them so much. They’re the only thing that the hubz really doesn’t care for, though, so I don’t cook them often.

Jenn,

I love brussel sprouts. But, everyone in my family hates them … I think if I made them as beautiful as you did they just might change there minds. Delicious!

Sorry to see the season ending! I even grew them myself one year, but they are so cheap during the winter I decided not to waste my energy…
Great recipe – I’m like you, I’ll toss them in with everything and anything in with them!
