Easy, Buttery, Brussels Sprouts
My daughter, Dana and I laugh about this story all of the time.
As a mother interested in preparing nutritious meals, I tried to introduce Dana to new and healthy vegetables while she was growing up. A vegetable that she particularly didn’t like was Brussels sprouts. Every once in awhile Dana would ask to try one again and would always wrinkle her nose and say, “yuck”!
She went away to college and on one of her first visits home she requested a special meal that would include her favorite foods. Wasn’t I surprised when she requested Brussels sprouts as the vegetable. Brussels sprouts have been one of her favorites ever since and are frequently included in our Sunday supper.
Through trial and error I came up with a recipe that is very simple and simply delicious. They have a buttery goodness that just might convert your family too.
Rinse Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or wilted outer leaves, trim stem ends and slice in half.
In a large saute pan melt the butter over low heat.
Add Brussels sprouts cut side down. Saute till they are a nice golden brown.
Flip them over and saute till the other side is also golden. Sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately!

In our hectic world, most of us can't commit to having dinner with our family/friends every night, but maybe we can start to put aside Sunday to be together and share our lives and good food. Let's join together to inspire others to celebrate our old traditions and create new ones.

It’s a wonderful idea for a side dish, love the photos and even though I’m not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts, I will give them a chance :)
