This is how I eat when Jeremy's not here

Yes, those are frozen eggrolls and yes, that's a giant plate of brussel sprouts, but they're delicious!
We found this simple recipe for brussel sprouts (another vegetable that needs a good marketing campaign. People--they don't have to be frozen, nasty, bitter things! They're nutty and delicious!)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scatter about 2 T butter around a 9 x 13 pan. Trim root end off fresh brussel sprouts (not frozen!) and discard any dark or wilty outer leaves. If sprouts are large, cut in half lengthwise. Create a single layer of sprouts on the pan and sprinkle with pepper and a little bit of salt. Place in the oven and stir every 10 minutes for about 40-45 minutes, or until sprouts are tender all the way through. The combination of the nutty sprouts with the butter and salt....oh my god. We must have eaten our body weight in brussel sprouts this year---and I've never eaten them before this summer!!
