Welcome

I am a stay-at-home mother of 3 living in Utah...who desires to learn more regarding cooking and baking. I hope through my culinary adventures I will learn enough to cook and bake decent food and maybe help fellow moms with their struggles in the kitchen.

Bacon & Brussels Sprouts

Poor Brussels sprouts... they get such a bad rap and they are truly tasty! I found this recipe on Foodnetwork.com, feel free to click here to be redirected to the original recipe link. I have altered the recipe ever so slightly so here it is... It seems bacon fat makes many foods edible to many!

1 pound of thick bacon
1 medium onion, thin slice
8 garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
2 pounds of Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
sea salt or kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

In a large, deep skillet, cook bacon med -high heat until browned. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add onion and garlic to the pan, reduce heat to moderate heat  until softened (3-4 minutes) Remove the veggies from the pan and set aside. Add the Brussels sprouts in batches and continue to cook until they are golden brown. Add the reserved bacon and veggies back along with the salt and pepper. Cover with lid and cook until sprouts are tender, about 10 minutes.
