  1. This is fantastic! I used less oil and shallots and it worked out beautifully. Also at the end rather than add a ton of calories with the two tablespoons of butter I just spritzed it a couple times with the butter spray. Very good sprouts!
     
  2. Such an easy and tasty way to have Brussels Sprouts. Love the combination of onions and pecans with the Brussels Sprouts. Also love that can just put them in the oven and then do other things. Thanks so much for the post
     
  3. My husband doesn't like brussels sprouts, so I made this for me. I scaled the recipe down for one person and skipped the butter and it was still wonderful! I very seldom make something just for me and I'm so glad I made this! Thanks!
     
  4. These are delicious!! I have never made Brussels Sprouts before, but these are great. I made them without the butter to make them a little healthier. Would also be great if you added bacon to the recipe!
     
  5. Fantastic recipe. So yummy, so fun to make!! We ate these up on Thanksgiving. This recipe will be on our regular menu from now on. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. I didn't change one thing.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
