This year was a great Christmas for us - we both got everything we could have ever wanted and more. Plus, we got to see way more family than we did last year. Mike did have to work overnights most of the weekend, but all in all I call this Christmas a success!
This week I will post the recipes from our Christmas feast - there were only 5 of us, which is pretty typical, but my mom always makes enough for a small army!
First up - Brussels Sprouts! Personally, I think brussels sprouts get a bad rap - they are good!!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Kosher salt
1 pound Brussels sprouts,outer leaves and stems removed
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
5 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and butter a 2-quart baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain the Brussels sprouts and coarsely chop, and place in a bowl. Pour the remaining ingredients into the
bowl, and toss until evenly coated. Place in a baking dish and bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
