Apparently, brussel sprouts
have only 38 calories per cup.
Whoa baby! That is really
low. They are really good for you and
are high in potassium and Vitamin C.
When I googled brussel sprouts, I found recipes from Martha Stewart to
Southern Living. Apparently, they are growing in popularity. We talked about
them at lunch one day, and I didn’t even know much about them, having avoided
them as a child and adult. I did know that they were part of the cabbage
family. If you are game, this looks like an interesting recipe from Ree.
Trivial Triffles
I
was getting my hair colored yesterday, and Colleen, my hairstylist, showed me a
new magazine that I must order. It is called the Food Network Magazine. It was
filled with ideas and recipes. There was even a large article on Ree Drummond,
Pioneer Woman. I happily took the little tear out order form and plan on
ordering it today.
Memory Musings
One
of my favorite memories of Thanksgiving or Christmas was spending it at my
Grandparent’s home in Aurora. Their basement was rectangular in shape and
unfinished. A little off center was a giant old octopus furnace. It had huge
metal pipes extending out from the rotund center. It had a real presence in
basement.
My
Grandmother served dinner on a long wooden table. My Mom currently uses this
beautiful table in her kitchen. The highback chairs were great. We also had
card tables set up for the kids. I loved spending time with my cousins. We are
a close family and really enjoy each other’s company. Holidays are great fun!
