Easy Crescent Rolls

I borrowed the recipe from here.

Place all of the following in your bread maker.

2 C warm water
1 egg
1/2 C melted butter
1 1/2 C flour (give or take)
2/3 C dry milk
2 tsp salt
1/4 C sugar
2 tbsp yeast

Use dough setting.  When complete place onto floured surface and divide into two equal parts.  Roll 1/2 dough into a large circle.  Using a pizza cutter make 8 cuts going through the center of the circle.  Roll each cut piece from the long end forward.  Place onto a parchment lined cookie sheet to rise.  (Sometimes I cook them without rising, other times I leave them for hours).  Bake at 375F for about 12 minutes.

Brussel Sprouts with cranberries, pecans & blue cheese

Brussel sprouts are my new favourite veggies.  They are an awesome vehicle for great tastes.  I borrowed the recipe from here.

Brussel Sprouts (halved)
1/3 C cranberries (I used low bush, they were tiny and frozen)
1/3 C pecans (I would toast these next time)
1/3 C blue cheese
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup

In a large skillet heat oil and pan fry the brussel sprouts.  After 4 minutes add the cranberries and cook until tender crisp.  Add the pecans.  Drizzle the whole mess with vinegar and syrup and stir to coat.  Remove from heat and top with blue cheese.
