The temperature is s'posed to drop tonight 30 degrees, our first "arctic blast", so am planning a minestrone chock full of cabbage, celery, carrots, onions and spinach. One of our favorites.
Here is DH's favorite Brussels sprouts recipe.
Garlic Brussels Sprouts
1 lb. fresh Brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbs. butter, divided
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 c. chicken broth
salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Heat olive oil and 1 tbs. butter and sauté garlic 1-2 minutes. Add sprouts and toss to coat. Add broth, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and toss w/remaining 2 tbs. butter.
