Brussel Sprouts

Now before you disregard this recipe, you have to know the reaction of both husband and children. Kevin's first words were, "This is DEFINITELY a keeper!" The children all said, "I thought this was going to  be yucky, but I love it!" The older kids had two servings and the little children ate it all up!

So, now that you know it is yummy with all its buttery goodness, here is the recipe!

Boil for only 3 minutes in just an inch of water:

1 lb brussel sprouts

Drain the brussel sprouts and rinse in cold water.

Saute for 4 minutes:


3 T butter
1/2 cup onion

Cut brussel sprouts in half and add to the simmering onions with 3 more Tablespoons butter. Cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat and stir in:

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
1/3 cup toasted almonds

Serve on a bed of rice.

*If you over cook brussel sprouts you get a bitter taste. Most people over cook the sprouts. You know you cooked them just right if you get a nutty buttery flavor!
