Brussel Sprouts WITH garlic

-
This should have been titled garlic with brussel sprouts. Although not my favourite (I actually LIKE brussel sprouts) this was loved by everyone else.

I used 14-16 small brussel sprouts.
(although larger ones are easier to work with the smaller taste less bitter)
1 tsp garlic
2 tbsp veg oil
leeks or green onions chopped

So as usual, you will trim off the bottom and remove the first 2-3 outer leaves. Place in salted water and boil until tender (NOT MUSHY!) Drain and cut in 1/2.

In a small pan, place oil and garlic at med/high heat. Toss in onions/leeks. Stir fry for a couple minutes, then add sprouts. Fry only until thouroughly mixed. Then turn off heat.

We actually reheated this one and they were VERY well received. Personally I would reduce the garlic to 1/2 tsp.

Nice change.

"Bon Appetit!"

Mix dry ingredients together. Add eggs and beer. Beat until batter is creamy and smooth. Dip sliced franks, shrimp, beef, cubed hard cheese, pineapple and other fruit.

Leftover Scalloped Potato Soup

-
Want a use for leftover scalloped potatos? Make soup. After a holiday meal I always use up my leftover ham and make scalloped potatoes and ham with brocolli, but this year, I made too much! Now what? Scalloped potato soup... I found this online. 4 cups leftover scalloped potatoes 1 cup cubed ham (optional) **NOTE: I added some leftover bacon(cubed) as well. 4 cups chicken broth 1 tablespoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions Place the scalloped potatoes and ham into a large pot, and pour in enough chicken broth to cover the potatoes completely. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. This sticks to the bottom of the pot easily, so I heated well and transfered to a crock pot to keep hot. Stir in the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and simmer for about 10 minutes. or In crockpot mix liquid and seasonings, throw the leftovers in the crockpot before work so supper is ready
