Sunny Sprouts

Who knew Brussels sprouts could taste this good? It’s the tangy mustard drizzle that makes all the difference.

Notes

I found the original recipe for these sprouts in an old Pillsbury cookbook and have been making it for years. Lately, I’ve seen it sprouting up all over the web . . . it’s that good!
It’s especially good with ham because of the tangy mustard, but it's a good side dish for any meal.

    I have made this recipe for years. First had it at a friend’s dinner and got the recipe. Thought I knew it by heart, but it has been a long time since I made it. Went to look for my copy of the recipe and couldn’t find it. Looked it up and there it was. Thanks. I decided to use baby carrots sliced, and I add diced onions too. We used yellow mustard.

Simply Eating Well

Patricia and Tom
Now that our nest is empty, Tom and I are enjoying quiet, intimate dinners at home. Simple meals. Smaller portions. The best cuts of meat. Organic vegetables. I’m always trying new recipes for 2 and still learning how to scale down the family favorites we’ve enjoyed through the years. Stay tuned.
