Fall Harvest Brussels Sprouts

September 20, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hello!

Do you like Brussels Sprouts?   Not many people do!  I know I was one of them.  It took my Husband about 15 years for me to like them.  Finally after several fail recipes, I discovered a couple of years ago a way to make sprouts taste good!   Well good for me that is!  My Husband on the other hand, after all his years of trying to get me to try a sprout, doesn’t like Brussels Sprouts unless they are cooked one way.  He doesn’t like them roasted, he doesn’t like them sautéed and he doesn’t even like fresh ones.  So what kind does he like?  The frozen ones with the cheese.  What?  They don’t even taste the sprout, just the cheese.  I tried them and honestly that is what turned me off from sprouts to begin with.  Me I like them one way and that is shaved and sautéed.  Yummy!!!

Fall Harvest Brussels Sprouts

So today I am sharing with you my Fall Harvest Brussels Sprouts. Oh man, it is loaded with flavor, fun and pizzazz. Ok I maybe getting a little excited right now. Sorry about that, but these sprouts are good!! They are made with shaved Brussels sprouts from Trader Joe’s, grated carrot, matchstick sliced pears and for fun candied pecans and dried cranberries. This dish has so many flavors going on, its crazy!!! Crazy good that is!
Fall Harvest Brussels Sprouts
I started the dish with some olive oil and garlic to give it a nice savory flavor and to sweetened it up I added pear, but to get everyone to like it, I added the candied pecans. The pecans make it fun! Sometimes you get a hint of sweet candy and other times you don’t. This is how you get the kids to eat the sprouts, but not the Husband! He wouldn’t even try it!! The man doesn’t know what he’s missing!

I think most people don’t like sprouts because of the bitterness of them. I stopped the bitterness by adding orange juice right at the end!! The orange juice sweetened it right up and the sprouts are not bitter at all. I learned that trick by watching the Urban Peasant on PBS about 20 years ago. It’s a shame I didn’t like sprouts back then, but I did really try. As you get older you tend to want to try new things and experiment with what you can create. At least that is how I am.  Just look at all these flavors below!

I was originally going to serve my sprouts with boneless pork chops, but when I went to get my pork, it was two days past expiration and I was a little leery of using it. I will use things if it is a day or two past expiration, but not meat, that kind of scares me! So what did I serve the sprouts with? Nothing! I made it a fend for yourself night and I ate two big cups of it, then headed to Panera Bread to try a cup of their Autumn Butternut Squash soup. The soup was good, but the fat was horrible in it. Now I’ll just have to make my own. Another fruit my Husband won’t eat. Yup, butternut squash is a fruit!

Fall Harvest Brussels Sprouts
I’m glad I have some left over because after writing this post I want some! They are great warmed up the next day and it even goes wonderfully in eggs. I know that sounds weird, but trust me it’s good!!

If you don’t like Brussels Sprouts, give them another try. It took me three tries to like them and now I love them! Same thing happened to me with sweet potatoes and black beans and now I can’t get enough. Yummers!

Have a super great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    The bitterness of Brussels sprouts is exactly why I don’t like the frozen ones. My favorite way to eat them is roasted. I’ve also made a Caesar salad recently, with raw kale & sliced Brussels sprouts as the salad (something I copied from a restaurant). I’m glad there are good ways to cook (or not) Brussels sprouts because they make a nice change from the usual veggies.

      Ohhh, the Caesar Salad way sounds delish!! I tried them roasted and wasn’t a fan, but I may give it a try again! That was a while ago when I had them that way!!

    I want to make your sprouts, just to put them in my refrigerator and then add them to my scrabbled eggs in the morning. I don’t cook dinner anymore, I just make leftovers for that exact reason. My girlfriend Garnet (Paprika) is in love with this recipe and it will be on our turkey day menu this year (And our “Mock Turkey Day” dinners the next three months.) My whole family thanks you in advance. I had to share this post in my, “Whacchoo Bloggin’ Bout” section.

    I tried the shaved Brussels sprouts from Trader Joe’s. They were terrible. And we love Brussels sprouts. They were dry. So I may try slicing them thin myself. This combo of ingredients sounds great. As much as I love summer, I look forward to the fall flavors & veggies. Pot roast in the slow cooker & a good book — nothing better. Ann

      I’m sorry TJ’s sprouts didn’t work out for you! I like them and buy them all of the time. Yes, just cut the sprouts thin yourself, it works out just as good!! I have done that myself! I’m with you, I love Fall flavors!! Yum, pot roast sounds so good

      Good morning! Just cut the Brussels Sprouts thin with a knife. That will work out nicely, I do that all the time if I don’t buy the pre-cut Brussels Sprouts at the store.

    Husbands, huh? 😉 My husband actually LOVES Brussels! When we met, I found that he loved Brussels. He found out that I love beets. And neither of us liked the other one’s fav vegetable. But, somewhere over the years…he became a beet lover and I became a Brussels lover. It all worked out 🙂

    I’m going to show him this recipe – I’m sure he’ll want to make it ASAP!

      That’s funny! I guess those things kind of happen when your married. I have to say those kind of things happen with my Husband and I, but I am more willing to try new things, then he is. But I’m working on him. 🙂

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!

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.

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!
