Hollandaise Heaven!!


Hollandaise Sauce!!! Is there anything better than that. I think not! I have always loved this buttery sauce. And again I was amazed at how easy it is to make..Well, I do have to admit my first attempt at it was a total flop. Still to this day, I have no idea what went wrong but I am pretty sure that curdly goo is not what you would want to see on your plate. I was utterly crushed at my disastrous try and I almost gave up. Well, I pulled up my boot straps, took a deep breath and tried again. This time it worked, well sort of. I think I did pretty good the second time around and I didn't get any complaints from my husband so I think I could count this as a success. Of course, it could just be because under the sauce was a huge hunk of steak!!

I got some brussel sprouts from my Bountiful Basket and thought I would cook them too. A couple of years ago, Ina Garten made a brussell sprout recipe on her television show and I always thought it look interesting. A lot of people I know hate brussel sprouts but I guess that is because most people don't know how to cook them. This recipe was really good. What can I say, any recipe that includes bacon can't be all that bad!!!

Mmmmm... I love hollandaise sauce. I have never actually had brussel sprouts, are they good? It looks like maybe there were white raisins in the recipe??? I need to try it. Post your recipe for both... or I guess I could call you, haha!
