Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta & Pearl Onions
"Like many others I am not a fan of brussel sprouts, never made them, never even think of them as a possibility for a dinner vegetable. But this recipe changed my thinking! The dish was brought to Thanksgiving dinner and there was nothing left! The recipe serves 12, but I'm sure it can be easily halved. This is most definitely best when served immediately, but it was just great reheated in the microwave for about a minute and a half."

I am a coastal California girl, relocated to Arizona a few years back now. I never thought I would like Arizona, we were giving this locale a two year trial period. Well I'm here to say I love it here!! The state, the weather, the community and all that goes with it. Our favorite time of day is the morning, sitting out on the back patio with our coffee, watching all the bird life; quails, thrashers, sparrows, woodpeckers, starlings, mockingbirds, wrens and the cottontail bunny rabbits and the occasional coyote passing through the yard. We have wonderful weather 10 months out of the year, great sunsets and great neighbors, who could ask for more! My folks came to visit us, fell in love with the community as well and in three days they bought a place too! My Mom calls me the president of the Chamber of Commerce, because I showed her the benefits and amenities of our community, so that she fell in love with it as well. So I took the next logical step and got my Real Estate license and became a Realtor. I am passionate about my new community, my new profession and all the regional southwest cooking possibilities!
