While I like to cook, and try new things a lot, there are some things that FabGrandpa and I keep coming back to–old favorites that we just love. Brussels sprouts is one of those things. Whenever I find them in the produce section at a reasonable price, I get enough of them for us to have for a couple of meals.
They taste so good just simply steamed with some butter and salt. I cut off the bottom end, and peel off a couple of the outside leaves, and put them in a microwave safe bowl.
Add about 1/4 cup of water. It doesn’t take much water to steam these to perfection.
Put about three tablespoons of butter, cut in thin slices, over the top of the brussels sprouts. Add a shake or two of salt, and they are ready to go.
Cover the bowl tightly with Glad wrap, and place in the microwave. I push the buttons on mine to set for 9 minutes. Your microwave may be more powerful or less than mine, so you will have to experiment with how much time it takes for yours.
Tonight we had the brussels sprouts with another standby meal, ground meat with mushroom gravy over rice. Talk about yum! And all naturally gluten free, naturally.
Sounds yummy! I have some brussels sprouts in the fridge right now – maybe we should have them tomorrow night….
I love brussell sprouts. But I have discovered they are high in sulfa and when I gorged on them caused a bladder infection.
Dinner looks tasty.
My husband loves Brussel sprouts but can’t have them very often because of the high potassium content. For everybody else…they are very healthy.
Yum! I’ve never tried cooking Brussels sprouts, I bet we would like them… Mmm, dinner ideas!
Oh oh! I too love brussell sprouts but unfortunately, I never get them because Phil does not share my passion. Since I am prone to cronic UTIs, maybe that is a good thing. They do look delicious however … maybe just a couple?
Hugs,

I really like Brussels sprouts, but havent’ had them for a while. I’ll try your recipe next time I buy them!
we love brussell sprouts too. I usually put just a pinch of sugar in with mine when I cook them…like putting a pinch in your Collard Greens. Makes a world of difference in the taste. Yum…I’ll have to get some for this weekend 🙂
