ACK!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I saw her making this on TV and could NOT believe my eyes! Almond extract and Brussels?! And come on, do we really need to... be buying frozen Brussels sprouts?? I am down with frozen peas, but fresh Brussels are easy to find when they're in season, and they cook through in a saute pan in minutes. I would save the almond extract for my cakes, cookies and granola!Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I both love Brussels sprouts, so I'm always looking for new recipes. I used fresh sprouts instead of frozen,... and less butter & extract than was called for, and these turned out delicious. Great texture and flavor.Sandra has hit another home run! Read more

So Good, Making Them Again Tonight
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried the recipe (minus the extract) for Christmas dinner and used fresh, not frozen. Better than any other brussel sprout... recipe I've tried. Even my son loved them. So easy and effortless to make. We're having them again tonight.Read more
