Asian Style Brussels Sprout Skewers Recipe

Asian Style Brussels Sprout Skewers Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend. I am taking the time to heal after the 2nd laser treatment I had on Thursday, and trying to get some writing and content done. Feeling grateful for a little time to heal and work without feeling pressure. I have to be honest, I’ve finally been feeling creative. I think my little girl’s trip to California gave me the boost I needed. 

Today’s Sunday Recipe is Asian-Style Brussels Sprout Skewers. Easy to make, a great appetizer, and a perfect side dish. This dish will make non-brussels sprout lovers love them.

Just Call me Martha With a Hack… Biscuits and Ber Just Call me Martha With a Hack…

Biscuits and Berries recipe is what “is this “Sunday’s in the Kitchen with D’Arcy”

I had heard good things about @magnoliatable  Buttermilk Biscuits,
And I’ve been wanting to try them. 

I thought that would be a good quick hack to serve them for a Sunday breakfast treat.

I brushed them with 🧈French Butter and French flaky Salt… (makes all the difference) you could eat them just like that…

I served them with Homemade Whipping cream and my Strawberry sauce along with Fresh Berries🍓🫐🌱

So so good… this would be a great brunch side dish or dessert as well.

These biscuits would make a great mini breakfast sandwich- egg cheese and bacon✔️
Or my Family’s  favorite-Biscuit’s and Gravy 

❤️save to reference later

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

I hope you have a day full of Gods Blessings and good food

What are you having for Sunday dinner?

We making. Grilled Filet mignon, scalloped potatoes, Asparagus and Baby carrots, homemade Baked Bruschetta bread, and a couple appetizers… 

Plus we’re all looking forward to our Baby Fix💙💙💙💙

Happy Sunday pretty ladies💋 D’Arcy
