I found this recipe here on Recipezaar a couple of years ago. I made it and brought it to my sister-in-law's for Thanksgiving, a meal for 16 people. Everyone raved about it to the point where it is insisted I make it each year! I HATE brussels sprouts but I have to say this is a fantastic recipe - even I eat them! Thanks!!!

These were good and pretty. I used frozen brussels and added a veggie boullion cube to the water with the other ingredients. I really liked the apples and raisins and the crunchy water chestnuts. Over all though the brussels still tasted strong. I think I prefer them masked in a vinegar marinade. But that's a matter of taste. The sweet, soft and crunchy were very nice contrasts.

My cooking comes frome the long line of chefs in the family. Both of my parents are excellent cooks, as well as many members of my family. I never follow the recipe, unless it's baking. I created many many recipes that my friends enjoy and often ask when I'll open my own restaurant... well...some day....
Most of my recipes are healthy. We love fish, vegetables and fruits.
