My New Favorite Veggie Dish

As usual, we all gathered for Sunday Family Dinner last night. Brussels sprouts were on the menu. At least they were on my menu as everyone else in my immediate family cannot abide them (thank God there's a few in laws and nieces that have seen the brussels sprouts are delicious light so I wasn't eating them alone). Stew Leonard's, a grocery store experience in and of itself, has been having tastings of the above brussels sprouts recipe for the last few weeks and it is simply delicious! If you want the recipe, go here. I followed it for the most part, but it's one of those things that you really can do what you like to your taste. (Didn't use nearly as much olive oil as their recipe called for.)

Of course, Little Miss Magic was a SFD attendee and had a fabulous time pulling on Stella's tail playing with Miss Stella-Bella. I do think at this point, Miss Stella was pleading "Please make this baby go away!"

As always, a good time was had, wonderful food was eaten and memories were made. I'd say that makes for a very successful SFD!

  1. 'tis asparagus season here and our favorite farmer's market fishmonger has been getting beautiful scallops.

    Thus for the last two weekends, I have made pan seared scallops seared in grape oil, butter, dill, and garlic. These are then served on top of freshly steamed asparagus. Then I squeeze a lemon into the butter/oil/scallop juice, warm it a bit, and drizzle *that* over the top of the asparagus/scallops.

    However -- the farmer's market has also featured a number of vendors with the most beautiful brussel sprouts. I'd bet steamed, halved, and seared in the scallop juice would be divine!
