the only reason i didn't give this 5 stars is because i tweaked the recipe quite a bit to accommodate my family's taste: I used 1 # fresh brussels sprouts, cooked orzo (rice shaped pasta) cooked in chicken broth instead of rice; 2 oz cooked bacon instead of the proscuitto and real butter & whole milk for the white sauce. definitely not as healthy as the original, but awesomely good! I also recommend cutting the sprouts into quarters - much easier to eat that way. i will definitely be making this one again!

I love to cook, to feed people and to experiment. Unfortunately I have a very limited audience, so most of my creations are reserved for me alone. My BF is a sort of picky eater and all of my favorites he dislikes, so I'm learning how to get around lots of ingredients. Like mushrooms (so sad), tomatoes and onions... who cooks without onions? In this one way, it's almost a good thing that our schedules allow for only 3 meals a weeks together :-)
