Guys, it’s been quite a week! I turned thirty-seven years old. I guess I’m okay with that. Also, we added a surprise new member to our household. No, it’s not a baby, unless you count a 1 ½ year old cat as a baby, which I kind of do. I’ll try to post some pictures in the coming weeks. Right now she’s getting acquainted with her new surroundings, so I’m not ready to bug her with the camera just yet. For now, let’s stick to food. So, Brussels sprouts! I happen to love them in any form, but I know we’ve got a lot of Brussels sprout haters out there, including my own mom. Maybe I should be thanking her? For all I know I would have hated Brussels sprouts as a kid and can only attribute my love for them as an adult to the fact mom never tormented me with them before I was ready? In any event, these are the sprouts for my non-Brussels sprout fans. I figured it’d be hard to go wrong with gingery maple sweet and sour sauce, and as expected, I could’t keep my hands off these suckers. My husband and I ate what was left of these (after I attacked the skillet) as a side dish, but I’d have no problem serving them as a main dish over some rice. Either way you serve them, deliciousness will ensue. Mom, I hope you give them a try!
