Recipe for those of you who asked...

I still haven't tried this recipe ~ it is Eleise's recipe ~ from our RECIPE SWAP on Sunday afternoon but I wanted to post it because several people have asked (I guess they want to use it for Thanksgiving dinner!).  I haven't had time to try it but I will when Alan and I get back from our little trip to Maryland!  Here it is ~

Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Serves 8.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Two net bags of fresh Brussels Sprouts ( 1 1/2#)

Three tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

One tablespoon of Balsamic Vinegar, or to taste

One tablespoon of Butter, softened

Salt & pepper to taste

Wash, trim and halve the Brussels Sprouts, dry them in a salad spinner or with a kitchen towel.  Toss the sprouts with the olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet in one layer.  Place them in the oven at 400 for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 325; cover the sprouts with tin foil and continue cooking for another 30 minutes.  Check them once in a while and stir.  Right before serving add the softened butter and the vinegar and mix well. 

Eleise adds, 'This recipe is great for people who insist they don't like Brussels Sprouts!'

I wanted to add this picture ~ it was such a pleasure to have these three ladies at the RECIPE SWAP on Sunday afternoon ~ Marion, Sarah and Katie (Mother and daughters).  Katie came all the way from Chicago and Sarah was looking fabulous after a very difficult year.  Love the picture!
