Brussels sprouts are a part of the cabbage family and date back to 1000 B.C. They were cultivated and gained popularity in Brussels and Belgium during the 13th Century.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories and an excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, and Magnesium.

They generally absorb the taste of the first seasoning used in cooking them. If you are looking for a savory taste, I recommend starting the process by parboiling them in salted water. And, if you prefer a sweeter taste, start with water seasoned with sugar, maple syrup, agave, or another sweetener.

Caution should be used to not overcook Brussels Sprouts. When they become gray-looking it tends to give them a super-strong pungent smell and taste.

The frying for this recipe can be done in a pan, deep fryer, or for a healthier option, an air-fryer.

ENJOY!

It is still summer here in Southern California but I was craving soup.

My son had some leeks and I had some potatoes. I am quite certain you have an idea as to what prompted me to create this recipe.

It really comes together fast and only uses a few ingredients.

ENJOY!

My dear friend gifted me with some amazing zucchini this past weekend. I started thinking of some culinary opportunities. The original options of stir-fry, zucchini bread and ratatouille came to mind but I wanted something extraordinary.

A casserole, perhaps, but something with a Mexican flavor. This came together in a matter of minutes and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

You can add your own flair by topping it with fresh avocado slices, cilantro or simply a dash of lime juice.

ENJOY!
