Creamy Brussel Sprouts Au Gratin for Thanksgiving

21 Nov

Who said Brussel Sprouts have to be awful? I am biased to talk about cruciferous vegetables (aka cauliflower, cabbage,cress,broccoli, bok choy, etc), because I love them all. But many people tend not to like their taste, and only eat them because of their amazing health benefits. They are high in vitamin C, soluble fiber, and potential anticancer properties.

Here is a recipe that I keep making every year, and it is always the star of the party. It doesn’t matter who comes for dinner, I always hear: “No thanks, I am not a Brussel Sprouts’ fan.” But I always insist,” Just try it, you will not regret it”…and guess what? They end up eating the whole thing, hahaha.

This is the one dish that I can never get enough, because there are no leftovers to tell the story.

So be brave, go ahead and try this recipe. I promise you will love it.

Assouline is my favorite website to go to when I want to disconnect from the world and travel in the amazing world of books.

Assouline has its own Publishing Company, and most titles focus on books geared toward images and photography rather than text content. These are a few that are on my wishlist:

Books are not the only items they offer. Assouline also has  beautiful stationery:

And miscellaneous awesome stuff such as this:

Goyard Book Trunk for Assouline

And if you have a business, they offer corporate gifts tailored to your taste and preferences

Just wish I could afford to buy their whole inventory, I absolutely love Assouline!
