So plans have changed and we are NOT hosting Christmas Eve

we are instead going to my cousins (who is very preggo). I offered to bring a vegetable dish and I am not at a total loss...I have no idea what to make.

I want to please the masses, but make something yummy to.

vegetarian or actual veggie?

Re: So plans have changed and we are NOT hosting Christmas Eve

Spicy Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

3 pints Brussel Sprouts - rinsed, take off outer leaves, cut off ends and then cut in half
1 head of garlic, separate, remove paper and cut each clove in half
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Fresh Ground Red Pepper Flakes

Toss everything together in a bowl to get a good coating on them
roast them cut side down on a baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Toss around and roast another 15 minutes.

Finish off with a pinch more kosher salt.

They will be caramelized - salty and spicy yet sweet underneath

Glazed carrots... perfect side for almost anything - beef, pork, poultry

This is a recipe for two but this is the type of recipe that you just wing...

1-1/2 cups baby carrots
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice


Directions:
Place 1 in. of water in a saucepan; add carrots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. In a small skillet, combine the honey, brown sugar and lemon juice. Cook and stir until bubbly. Add carrots and stir until well coated. Yield: 2 servings.
