Maybe you’ve shared these recipes numerous times, they might be easy to remember and that’s why folks want to make them again and again. On the other hand, they might be complicated, or require special ingredients that you wouldn’t purchase except on special occasions.
As desire to have your recipes organized takes hold in your mind, you might think of putting them together in categories that make sense to you. This is your project and you get to do it in any way that suits you. You might, instead of organizing them by appetizers, main courses and desserts, decide to take the favorites and make a special section for those.
Let’s just say that you do organize them by favorites, or that you pull out a handful of five favorites to start with. What’s the next step? Well, as you look them over, you might remember some special meals where you enjoyed these recipes. You might remember some of the people who were there.
Here is a template you could use to construct your family favorites into a story form:
TITLE: FAVORITE RECIPE, BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH APPLE CIDER
THE STORY
I have one recipe for brussels sprouts from the San Francisco Chronicle years ago that everybody seems to like. It has some star anise in it and it’s flavored with apples and cider so it gives the brussels sprouts a slightly sweet flavor. I think that’s why even people who don’t like brussels sprouts very much enjoy this dish.
I found it one Christmastime as I was thinking about my annual Christmas Eve dinner. This was always a fun party that my husband and I hosted for our California friends, who like us, didn’t have family in the area. I remember the time that Howie and Barry sang “Car 54 Where Are You” because they didn’t know any Carols, having grown up as Jewish New Yorkers.
Those were younger days, and as time passed, life evolved, people moved out of the state, circumstances changed and the Christmas dinners changed too. I joined a church and after Mike’s death, for a number of years I was having a dinner on Christmas Day instead because I started going to the Christmas Eve service. At the end of the service we all went outside holding white tapers, lit against the darkness and we sang Silent Night to the winter stars. It was always a beautiful service. At my Christmas Day dinners during those years, we gathered in the living room after dinner with our tea and took turns passing Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales around. Each person read a bit and passed it to the next person.
Now I go to visit my family in Wisconsin for Christmas, and after all these years of not spending that holiday with them, it has been especially nice to reconnect and experience all the traditions there. We go to Mass with my mom and it is very special to sit in the pew at St. Helen’s church on Christmas Eve with my sister, her husband and my brother Jim.
THE RECIPE
Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 medium size yellow onion, peeled and chopped
2 Golden Delicious apples, cored, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 star anise
2 tablespoons balsamic vineger
Trim the sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Melt the butter over low heat in a skillet or heavy bottomed saucepan large enough to eventually hold all the ingredients. When the butter begins to foam, add the olive oil. Increase the heat to medium, add the brussels sprouts and saute for 5 minutes.
Add the apples and onion and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, gently siirring. Add the apple cider, salt, pepper and star anise.
Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until the sprouts are tender.
Using slotted spoon, remove the contents, leaving only the juices in the pan. Reduce the pan juices by half over medium high heat. Add the vinegar and cook 2 or 3 minutes, stirring and scraping bottom of pan.
Discard the star anise. Put the Brussels Sprout mixture in a serving dish and pour the juices over the top. Serve hot or warm.

Benefits
A. Health benefits according to studies
1. Detoxification In the investigation of cruciferous vegetables, myrosinase metabolizes the relatively inactive glucosinolates into isothiocyanates and other products that have the ability to increase detoxification enzyme expression found that as predicted by the in vitro experiment, in vivo exposure to Brussels sprouts with active myrosinase resulted in greater induction of both phase I and phase II detoxification enzymes in the liver and the lungs that correlated with plasma sulforaphane concentrations, according to “Induction of detoxification enzymes by feeding unblanched Brussels sprouts containing active myrosinase to mice for 2 wk”by Robbins MG, Hauder J, Somoza V, Eshelman BD, Barnes DM, Hanlon PR.(a)
2. AntioxidantsIn the evaluation of consumption of the sprouts and its antioxidant effects found that Serum vitamin C levels were increased by 37% after sprout consumption but no correlations were seen between prevention of DNA-damage and individual alterations of the vitamin levels. Our study shows for the first time that sprout consumption leads to inhibition of sulfotransferases in humans and to protection against PhIP and oxidative DNA-damage, according to “Consumption of Brussels sprouts protects peripheral human lymphocytes against 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and oxidative DNA-damage: results of a controlled human intervention trial”by Hoelzl C, Glatt H, Meinl W, Sontag G, Haidinger G, Kundi M, Simic T, Chakraborty A, Bichler J, Ferk F, Angelis K, Nersesyan A, Knasmüller S.(b)
3. Thyroid functionIn the observation of the effect of dietary Brussels sprouts, a particularly rich source of such glucosinolates, on thyroid function found that a normal diet of 10 volunteer subjects had no effect on thyroid function as determined by measurement of thyrotrophic hormone, thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine even though the sprouts contained high concentrations (220 mg/100 g) of glucosinolates. In view of the reported antithyroid activity of 5-vinyloxazolidine-2-thione it is suggested that this lack of activity of cooked Brussels sprouts is due to inactivation during cooking of myrosinase, the specific glucosinolate-degrading enzyme, according to “Preliminary observations on the effect of dietary brussels sprouts on thyroid function” by McMillan M, Spinks EA, Fenwick GR.(c)
4. Anti CancersIn the classification of the cancer-preventive effect of brassica vegetables, including cabbages, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, found that most evidence concerning anticarcinogenic effects of glucosinolate hydrolysis products and brassica vegetables has come from studies in animals. In addition, studies carried out in humans using high but still realistic human consumption levels of indoles and brassica vegetables have shown putative positive effects on health. The combination of epidemiological and experimental data provide suggestive evidence for a cancer preventive effect of a high intake of brassica vegetables, found that “Brassica vegetables and cancer prevention. Epidemiology and mechanisms” by
5. Type 2 diabetes
In the determination of young broccoli sprouts improve oxidative stress status in diabetic condition found that 63 patients in three groups were included in the analysis: 10 g/d BSP (n=21), 5 g/d (n=22) and placebo (n=20). After 4 weeks, consumption of BSP resulted in significant decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) (P=0.001 for treatment effect), oxidized low density lipoprotein cholesterol (P=0.03 for treatment effect), OSI (P=0.001 for treatment effect) and significant increase in Serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (P=0.001 for treatment effect), according to “Broccoli sprouts reduce oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes: a randomized double-blind clinical trial” by Bahadoran Z, Mirmiran P, Hosseinpanah F, Hedayati M, Hosseinpour-Niazi S, Azizi F.(e)

VKDB is not an uncommon phenomenon and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child with bleeding diathesis.
2. Vitamin CIn the evaluation of pulmonary dysfunction. and it effects on pulmonary dysfunction found that At present, evidence from randomised-controlled trials is insufficient to recommend a specific role for vitamin C in the treatment of asthma. Further methodologically strong and large-scale randomised controlled trials are needed in order to address the question of the effectiveness of vitamin C in children with asthma but some outcome data showed effectiveness on lung function, symptom scores, IgE levels and inhaled steroid use. One small study showed a significant difference in % drop in FEV1 post-exercise, according to the study of “Vitamin C supplementation for asthma” by Kaur B, Rowe BH, Arnold E.(1)

[Article in Spanish]” by Rodríguez-Rodríguez E, Bermejo LM, López-Sobaler AM, Ortega RM.(2)
4. Dietary fiberDaily intake of right amount of fibers can prvent and treata. Diabetes, as Increased consumption of vegetables, whole grains, and soluble and insoluble fiber is associated with improved glucose metabolism in both diabetic and nondiabetic individuals. Improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis were more evident in participants following a plant-based diet compared with other commonly used diets, according to the study of “Efficacy of high-fiber diets in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus” by Wolfram T, Ismail-Beigi F.(3)
5. FolateIn the investigation of the prevalence and multifactorial etiology of anemia among Indian human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children and its effect on anemia, found that Anemia, particularly iron deficiency anemia and anemia of inflammation, is highly prevalent among children with HIV infection. Micronutrient supplements (iron and, folate) combined with ART(antiretroviral therapy) improved anemia in HIV-infected children, according to “The prevalence and etiology of anemia among HIV-infected children in India” by Shet A, Arumugam K, Rajagopalan N, Dinakar C, Krishnamurthy S, Mehta S, Shet AS.(4)

1. Helicobacter pylori
In the investigation of polyphenols of apple peel and theirs effect on Helicobacter pylori found that In a short-term infection model (C57BL6/J mice), two levels of APPE doses (150 and 300 mg/kg/day) showed an inhibitory effect on H. pylori attachment. Orally administered apple peel polyphenols also showed an anti-inflammatory effect on H. pylori-associated gastritis, lowering malondialdehyde levels and gastritis scores, according to “In vitro and in vivo effects of apple peel polyphenols against Helicobacter pylori” by Pastene E, Speisky H, García A, Moreno J, Troncoso M, Figueroa G.(a)
2. Anti cancers
In the study of the inverse relationship between the consumption of apples and the risk of several cancers found that APE treatment resulted in a marked increase in maspin, a tumor suppressor protein that negatively regulates cell invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Our data suggested that APE possesses strong antiproliferative effects against cancer cells, and apple peels should not be discarded from the diet. Detailed mechanistic studies, especially in appropriate in vivo animal models, are needed to further examine the antiproliferative and preventive effects of APE against cancer, according to “Antiproliferative effects of apple peel extract against cancer cells” by Reagan-Shaw S, Eggert D, Mukhtar H, Ahmad N.(b)3.
Anti-inflammatory effectIn the assessment of apple peel polyphenol extract (APPE) and its powerful antioxidant activity in protective effect against gastrointestinal damage found that APPE also displayed anti-inflammatory effects by preventing neutrophil infiltration in the mucosa, as evidenced by the lower myeloperoxidase activity. These protective effects of APPE resulted in the prevention of macro- and microscopic damage and of barrier dysfunction along the gastrointestinal tract of the indomethacin-treated animals. This study supports the concept that apple peel polyphenols may be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated side effects, according to “Apple peel polyphenols protect against gastrointestinal mucosa alterations induced by indomethacin in rats” by Carrasco-Pozo C, Speisky H, Brunser O, Pastene E, Gotteland M.(c)4. Cholesterols
In the evaluation of consumption of a pear, an apple and 200 ml orange juice, during 26 days and theirs effect cholesterol found that fruit consumption increased TAC in non-smokers, but not in smokers. In non-smokers, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased significantly; while in smokers, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol decreased. We may conclude fruit/juice supplementation showed different effects, depending on the smoking habit: in non-smokers it increased TAC and cholesterol; in smokers it reduced cholesterol, without inducing a TAC increase, according to “Daily consumption of apple, pear and orange juice differently affects plasma lipids and antioxidant capacity of smoking and non-smoking adults” by Alvarez-Parrilla E, De La Rosa LA, Legarreta P, Saenz L, Rodrigo-García J, González-Aguilar GA.(d)5. Antioxidants
In the observation of intake of apple and grape juice and theirs antioxidant effect found that apple and grape juice consumption did not influence lymphocyte damage upon hydrogen peroxide treatment. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine content was not affected by 2 weeks of fruit juice intervention. These findings indicated that concomitant intake of apple and grape juice was efficient in enhancing the body’s antioxidant status, according to “Impact of apple and grape juice consumption on the antioxidant status in healthy subjects” by Yuan L, Meng L, Ma W, Xiao Z, Zhu X, Feng JF, Yu H, Xiao R.(e)6.
