BASIC GARLIC BUTTER BRUSSELS SPROUTS
So many people think they don't like brussels sprouts - it's sad, because they're such a wonderfully tasty vegetable! I figure they must have had them prepared badly when they were younger, because everybody I fix them for change their minds about them. My latest conquest was my husband, who thought he didn't like them, either. He has since changed his mind, of course.

Steps:
- If you can, get your brussels sprouts from a store that sells them loose in bins; pick out the smaller, tight sprouts.
- To cook them, clean and trim the sprouts, removing the bottom stem and tougher outside leaves (very important!).
- You've already cut the bottom of the stalk off: now cut an"X" into the bottom of each sprout (about an 1/8 of an inch deep).
- Steam the sprouts for about 20 minutes, until they are soft (everybody prefers theirs in their own way, but I cannot stand crunchy brussels sprouts).
- While the sprouts are steaming, sauté the minced garlic in a little bit of butter for about 3 minutes, then combine them into the rest of the melted butter.
- When spouts are done cooking place them in a serving dish, pour the melted garlic butter over the sprouts, season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve.

EASY GARLIC BUTTER SAUTéED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, halve the brussels sprouts.

- Add a tablespoon of olive oil then add the halved brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Allow to sauté, tossing regularly, allowing the sprouts to caramelize.
- Once crisp tender, stir in the butter, garlic and chilli flakes (I use up to a half teaspoon for a nice spicy bite).

- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice then serve.
