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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
