Brussels Sprouts, Three Ways

I recently started a Facebook Group called Connect in the Kitchen and it has been a wonderful and positive addition to my days.  I’m truly enjoying everyone in the group and their food pictures and stories.  It’s a beautiful supportive groups of folk that love to cook … and eat.   

A bonus was that the group is also how I came into a large amount of brussels sprouts this week!  One of our group members posted brussels sprouts and I was pouting because I didn’t pick any up while I was at Jebbias.  

To the rescue comes my generous friend, Leslie, who owns Ruttenbucks, and they went to a limited menu due to the COVID-19 restrictions. I promised her I would let them go to waste! 

One can use olive oil or bacon grease.
