The one sort of failure Thanksgiving recipe

I love the "not normal" vegetables. When I was little I went through a phase (ok...a very long phase) where the only vegetable I would eat was lima beans. To this day I don't think my parents have willingly had lima beans in their house. But what are you to do with a fussy 7 year old if you want them to eat veggies?

My other love growing up....brussels sprouts. I have a delicious recipe that I make every year that calls for shredding them, cooking them in wine with garlic and bacon and serving them like a warm coleslaw. This year though I got adventurous. First mistake.

But not really a mistake...............the recipe itself tasted delicious. Someone (we aren't pointing fingers here in the spirit of Thanksgiving) should have boiled them a bit longer.......they were tough.


But..............toughness aside, the parmesan cream sauce was out of this world! I believe that even a die hard brussels sprouts hater would love this dish when set in front of them. Ok, more so if you could chew the $%^#* sprouts, but that's neither here nor there.

I will attempt this again, probably not during a holiday meal, but as a side dish to some roast pork or chicken breast.

You can find the recipe HERE.
