Stack Boxes

"This And That"
  These stack boxes suggest to me that 

there are many ideas to explore.

A little of this and a little of that.

The boxes were given to me as a special gift 

by my daughter, Melinda.

I often gaze at the boxes, which are situated under a folding table in our dinning room and ponder the possibility of topics I could explore on this blog.

For this entry I wish to give you THIS recipe of Brussels Sprouts.

Now Brussels Sprouts are not what I would call a favorite. However, I am doing my best to eat more plant based foods and a package of green, healthy Brussels Sprouts caught  my eye in the vegetable section of the grocery store.

How to cook them to be a tasty dish was the question.  

I contacted my sister-in-law, June, to come to my rescue.  

She gracefully provided direction of how she cooked the vegetables.

Guess What!  They were really quite good.  

I will now post the recipe:

Cut a deep cross in the bottom of each Sprout to help the bottom to cook faster.  Then put them in cold water and bring them to a boil with some salt.  Boil them until a fork can pierce them.  About 10-15 minutes.  You can also steam them.  If you overcook them, they are terrible.  Serve them with a little butter and enjoy.

Try them, I dare you!

Next I will post Jeannie's Meatloaf THAT is super easy, delicious, and very 

desirable as a main dish to any meal. 

                    Use one pound hamburger

                    One small can evaporated can milk

                    One package dry onion soup mix

                    Mix together.

                    Bake at 350 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes

                   Serve with chili sauce

                   Baked or scalloped potatoes

                   Three different colored vegetables

Anybody Hungry?

Until the next post enjoy life and try a new dish for enjoyment.
