ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES
There's nothing to this recipe-the preparation and cooking times are so quick. I sprinkle in a few dried cranberries, but you can let your imagination take over. Add a handful of raisins or walnuts at the end, or even sliced oranges. If your Brussels sprouts are large, cut them in half. -Ellen Ruzinsky, Yorktown Heights, New York
