	Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar by Lynda Olsen Do you like Brussels Sprouts? I love the little cabbages, but my husband doesn't and he has turned the kids against them too! All these years of marriage and I haven't been able to convince him otherwise. So, sometimes when I know I'm going to be alone for a meal, I buy Brussels Sprouts and cook them just for me! That's what I did…	1 vote 1361 views

If you still have turkey leftovers, this Pot Pie would be a good choice to make. This is similar to my Mother's Pot Pie. I say similar, because she did not use a written recipe, so I've had to write one so that I could pass this on to my kids. This was…	1 vote 1188 views
