Brussels Sprouts with fresh Cranberries

November 20, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone!

My Husband thinks I lost it!  And maybe I did?  But I can’t help it that I was actually craving Brussels Sprouts!  Who does that?  You wouldn’t think me?  Normally I want chocolate, peanut butter, ice cream, but today it was sprouts!  So this past weekend I went to my grocery store and hand-picked the cutest little green sprouts I could.  That night I told my Husband we are having bacon flavored chicken with a side of Brussels Sprouts for dinner.  At first I got yah look, bacon chicken, then I got ohhhhh, sprouts!  Whats up with that?  The man is the one who got me to try sprouts and now he doesn’t like them.  What gives?  I think today’s Brussels Sprouts are amazing!  The flavor, oh baby, so good!
Brussels Sprouts with Fresh Cranberries
These sprouts are not just ordinary sprouts but they are flavored with love! Yes love! The love of onions, garlic, oranges, fresh cranberries and brown sugar. This dish couldn’t get any fresher!! This is the first time I used fresh cranberries in a dish like this and it turned out beautifully! It kind of looks like a beautiful Christmas dish!
Brussels Sprouts with Fresh Cranberries
The first thing I did was saute my onions and garlic in some olive oil, just until they were tender and then in went the sprouts and cranberries. I cooked it until the cranberries started to pop. You would think the cranberries would be to tart, but they weren’t! That is because I seasoned them with fresh orange zest and orange juice, then I sprinkled it with brown sugar. the orange juice took away any bitterness and the brown sugar gave a perfect balance of sweetness to the dish. To add a little bit of a different texture I tossed in some roughly chopped pecans. This dish has it all, and is easily made in about 12 minutes or so, depending on how tender you like your Brussels Sprouts.

Brussels Sprouts with Fresh Cranberries
These Brussels Sprouts would be perfect for serving for the holidays! It’s a perfect color, a perfect balance and very healthy for you. Plus it’s great that it can be whipped together in a few minutes. To save on time, I recommend cutting your sprouts the night before. If you love Brussels Sprouts and cranberries, I highly recommend this dish. I just love it and I plan on cooking more with fresh cranberries. I honestly can’t believe they weren’t very tart in this dish. It’s amazing what an orange can do and of course brown sugar!

Well that’s it for me today!  Leftover sprouts for lunch!  Just hope my co-workers don’t mind the smell of heated up sprouts.  They smell ok the day you make them, but heated up, well, lets just say some people don’t like it.  lol

Have a wonderful day!!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    I keep trying to like brussels sprouts….think I’ll give this recipe a try. It looks delicious! One quick question – in the write up you say to toss in the pecans but I don’t see them listed in the ingredients. Are the pecans figured into the nutritional information?

      Thanks Heather, I added the pecans this morning. I forgot to add them to the ingredient list and yes they are included in the nutritional information. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention. 🙂 I do hope you give sprouts another try! It took me 3 times to try them before I liked them.

      It’s better served warm. You could probably pop it in the microwave for a few minutes to get the chill off of it.

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?

PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Also, the pillow and the Halloween sign on the side of the door is also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
