I saw this recipe over at The Pioneeer Woman and decided to give it a try. I love the combination of flavors, especially the tartness from the cranberries. I also think it's an impressive side dish to serve with just about anything. Did you notice that I keep posting cranberry recipes? I'm obsessed. hehe :) Oh, and a quick note... remember to drizzle on the Balsamic reduction. It's very sweet so you will want to add it to taste.
And Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to share my new year resolution with everyone, but I really don't have just one big resolution. So instead I came up with a list of little things I want to do this year.
Here we go!
- Make curtains for the living room
- Make sushi
- Grow as many tomatoes as possible so that I can make sauces for the winter
- Take a small road trip with hubs, Mimi, and Emmett
- Drink more water
- Become more organized... come up with a daily routine
- Sew an outfit for Mimi or Emmett... or a blanket, toy.... anything at all
- Repurpose my old clothing
- Cook a lobster
- Buy a new camera and learn how to use it
- Buy a domain and create a new banner
- Do something spontaneous, crazy, wacky, insane.... or just something a little different :)
- Paint the trim in the house.... oh my gosh we've been putting that off forever
- Make croissants (yikes...)
- Backup, organize, etc. my computer (especially the pics and videos)
- Teach Mimi some French words
- Learn to like..... *gulp*..... parsnips... bleck!
- Make a fancy dinner and invite my parents over
- Stop procrastinating
- Learn more about meat... I mean thoroughly understand the different cuts of meat, the names, everything.... buy a book and study it
I REALLY wanted to add "make pottery" to the list because it's really a dream of mine, but that's an expensive hobby so I'm going to wait on that one (especially since I plan to work on my photography skills). hehe But hey... even if I accomplish nothing on this list, it will still be a great year. I am surrounded by my family and that makes each year amazing.
Happy New Year everyone!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Balsamic Reduction
Serving Size = 16 (I cut this down to 3 servings)
Original Recipe: The Pioneer Woman
- 3 lbs Brussels Sprouts
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil (EVOO)
- Salt, to taste
- 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar (I will reduce this to 1/4 cup next time, see the note below)
- 1 cup dried cranberries (I used fresh and increased the amount a bit)
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Clean and trim the Brussels sprouts. Place onto a baking sheet (or dish) and toss with some oil. Sprinkle on just a bit of salt. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until brown.
- In the meantime, start the reduction. In a medium saucepan mix together the vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook until very thick (about 15 - 20 minutes). Click here for a picture of reduced Balsamic.
- When the Brussels sprouts are done, I throw the cranberries on top of them and let them cook 1 additional minute just to warm them up (the cranberries will break a bit).
- Before serving, drizzle on the reduction to taste.

Happy New Year!
I hope 2012 will be full of health, love and happy moments!
Great recipe Elsa. If you find the balsamic too sweet, I make the same recipe but reduced the sugar (or honey) to only a few Tbsp. It'samazing how sweet it still turns out. I love your list! They are all doable fun things to do. All but painting the trim;) As for the parnips, my husband doesn't like them either but whenI roast them with butter and apple suace and rosemary they dissapear. give it a try:)
I'll be hosting Whole Food Wednesdays starting this week at http://www.beyondthepeel.net/category/blog, i hope you'll join us and have a great year!
I agree completely. In fact, I've actually left the sugar out completely and it still works perfectly. I understand that this recipe should have a really sweet element, and it does work, but I think I would probably reduce the sugar next time. I will make note of that in the recipe.
And I will definitely link up! :)
This looks delicious! I have some fresh cranberries that I really need to use up asap. I don't have any brussel sprouts right now, although I looooove them roasted with balsamic. What other veggies would be good in this recipe?
Great question! Hmmm.... I think my next veggie would be roasted asparagus. I would also try kale or spinach (quickly saute them, then add the cranberries to warm them up a bit). Hope this helps!
Your roasted brussels sprouts look wonderful - so much better than my last batch! :) Thanks for sharing this recipe and your resolutions with the Hearth and Soul Hop.
I just made this as well! It was my first time trying brussels sprouts - the hubs ate it, which was an accomplishment; no such luck with the kids, but no surprise there!

nice, keep it up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later on. Many thanks

Tarot is not utilised to make a decision your large life decisions and reply your easy 'yes/no' concerns as several of you could
think, Tarot must be utilised as a guide to support you
make the choice oneself This is why the question becoming asked in a tarot looking through is of
much importance.
There are truly 2 different varieties of Tarot readings:
Open Readings and Issue Readings
Open up Readings:
Open reading through simply means the tarot looking through will deal with more substantial elements of your daily life, not for smaller problems or to answer specific
queries. This is typically executed when coming into a new chapter of your life, these kinds of as: Commencing a new loved
ones, Obtaining married or graduating from college.
Open readings can be directed for a specified topic, e.g.
Health or Associations and many others.. To aid the looking through go in that direction and
give you a common concept of what is likely on at that point
in your daily life and to guide you to make the right selections.
Question Readngs
Questions readings are practically the precise opposite
of open readings. Concern readings deal with a distinct concern or
aspect in your lifestyle. As pointed out over, it
is not supposed to answer your concern with a 'Yes'
or a 'No' , but to information you in a path to make the choice for oneself.
This brings back the notion of how critical the query becoming requested is.
