I was 35 before I had my first Brussel sprout (at Golden Corral of all places). They quickly have become my favorite veggie. I know that this recipe will not go over well with a couple of my readers, you know who you are, but it was the highlight of my Thanksgiving. I started dreaming […]

I really want to take credit for the name but I stole it from someone on the Food Network, only they left off the “B” so it had a spicier feel. Any way for General Conference I always try to plan at least one fun meal.  This time it was a indoor pulled pork sandwhichs, […]
