Sunny Sprouts

Sunny Sprouts

Who knew Brussels sprouts could taste this good? It’s the tangy mustard drizzle that makes all the difference.

Notes

This recipe has been a family favorite for years. I believe I found it originally in a Pillsbury cookbook. Lately, I’ve seen the recipe sprouting up all over the web . . . it’s that good!

It’s especially good with ham because of the tangy mustard.

The Enloe bookcase I ordered last November finally came, and I've loaded it with some of my favorite books, photos, and other items--all with special meaning and memories. Holders for my collection of Victoria magazines, which are too beautiful to toss, are on order. No more books for me. This bookcase is full. #books #bookcase #bookworm
