Today I have a very special GIVEAWAY but first we’ll chat Thanksgiving.

https://gungrove.com/ajjpilgqnw5 Halloween is over, on to the next foodie holiday!I haven’t hosted Thanksgiving yet but I’m always happy to provide a side to whichever family is graced with my presence. I tested out a veggie side using Country Crock and it was awesome! I tried my hand at a few Thanksgiving-y dinner items.

Smokey Maple Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/38c5h9g 1 pound fresh brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
3 tbs Country Crock
4 slices of bacon
1/4 cup maple syrup
a few drips of liquid smoke (optional)
1/3 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Directions:

Steam brussels sprouts until just starting to soften (they’ll cook more in the pan)
Melt Country Crock in a saute pan.
Add brussels sprouts to Country Crock and cook for about 5-7 minutes on medium high heat, stirring occasionally.

Once sprouts have begun browning, add in maple syrup, liquid smoke, bacon and cranberries.

This was great. Bacon makes everything better so don’t forget that one. I added some liquid smoke to give it a touch of earthiness. The bacon adds that too, but I think liquid smoke is a great addition to anything with bacon. I put it in chili too. The Country Crock adds the perfect golden creaminess without too many calories or trans fat.

I added in two different kinds of bread, chopped with chopped apple, thyme, and a splash of white wine.

I baked it for 20 minutes in muffin cups so it would be single serve-able.

They didn’t stay together too well. Ohh well! I liked how perfect the textures played together. The apples and onions totally helped make this better than out-of-the-box. Can you believe how few ingredients it takes?!

I served these two winning sides along with some turkey meatloaf muffins I saw. Nothing like some stellar sides to accompany a frozen quickie dinner.

  1. Those brussel sprouts look awesome. You’re making me excited for Thanksgiving!

    My favorite side: roasted vegetables. I love that I can eat as many as I want and not feel bad about eating dessert after 🙂

  2. My favorite Thanksgiving side is sweet potato casserole or candied sweet potatoes – actually, anything with sweet potatoes 😉
