Hispanic Heritage Month runs from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. 
It's time to celebrate Sukkot with reading, recipes,activities, and writing. Enjoy.
It's the Game 3 of the 1932 World Series. Babe Ruth is up to bat. Two strikes. He points to the center field. Is he calling the shot? Even he wasn't sure. To celebrate, make Home Run Potatoes from Recipe Wednesday.
Ingredients
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, washed
1 medium red bell pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Trim the stems of the Brussels sprouts, discarding any wilted leaves. Cook in a microwave safe bowl, covered, for about 6 to 8 minutes or until done.
In the meantime, cut the red bell pepper into quarters. Here's the fun part. Smash the peppers pieces flat and cut out Christmas tree shapes or triangles. In a medium sized skillet, saute them in 1 tablespoon butter about 3 to 5 minutes, until soft.
In a serving bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, red pepper trees, and basil. Salt and pepper to taste.
Makes 3 to 4 servings.
