Recipe: Lemon Garlic Brussel Sprouts

I have always been a bit skeptical of trying new vegetables, even though I had never had Brussels sprouts before I made this recipe. I was at the store with my dad and we saw some Brussels sprouts, and he thought we should try it. I was kind of uncertain, but I agreed and we took them home, cooked them up, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. If you don't like just plain ol' veggies and want some flavor, you can use this recipe on just about anything! Also, we will be frequently using essential oils in our recipes, but if you do not have them, there are other alternatives too. The lemon is not in the original recipe, but lemon and garlic together is always good!

The ingredients needed for making Lemon Garlic Brussels Sprouts:

 1 bag Brussels Sprouts
3 cloves garlic (or more if you want and extra kick)
2 drops lemon oil or 1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp. butter

Put the Brussels sprouts in a strainer

Rinse the Brussels Sprouts in cold water

Cut the ends off all the Brussels sprouts

Cut the Brussels sprouts in half

Put the butter and olive oil in the pan

Melt the butter

Add the garlic, and saute it until it is golden brown

Add the lemon oil or lemon juice, then add the Brussels sprouts. Let cook for 15 minutes, while covered. Best served warm. :)
