Brussels Sprouts Recipe for Two

One of my goals in having this series is that I will try to cook things I have never cooked before.  I also want to try things I haven’t tried before or maybe haven’t liked before and try to find a recipe I like.  

This brings us to this weeks Ingredient….brussels sprouts.  I have only had these once in my life and I was very young.  I would hear from everyone how disgusting these are and I decided to just stay away form them.  I tend to do that with things I don’t know about.

So, because I knew nothing about them, I asked my friends if anyone had a recipe they liked.  I got a lot of people suggesting to steam then a little butter and salt and eat.  

But then I got one that was really interesting to me.  It involved spices and baking them.  so I decided to do it.  So I went shopping and asked the produce guy for help picking them out.  He suggested getting them firm with not a lot of leaves coming off.  So I got a few and brought them home to cook.  

I realized I didn’t have the spices my friend used in hers, but I found some I had that sounded close to the ones she used, so I used those.  They turned out great!  I can’t say I will make them often, but they weren’t as bad as I thought they would be.

So here is the recipe she gave me so you can try it!!
