A tip with frozen brussels, do not boil but steam they are basically already cooked so if you use a steamer either stand alone one or as I do many one over the saucespan when I am cooking the potatoes. Takes up less room and you save on electricity as you only need one burner. Pop the brussels in about 8 - 10 mins before the potatoes are cooked and they stay firm and retain their flavour.
Thanks snugs. My mom boiled the heck out of those little suckers, lol. No wonder I grew up thinking I hated brussel sprouts. They tasted nasty. Turned me off so totally I never personally used the frozen ones. I'll have to try them steamed. Probably taste good, if the flavor hasn't been boiled out of them. Now that I think about it, my mama prepared most fresh veggies the "boil em to death" way. It is truly amazing I turned out the way I did, lol.
