In what feels like a lifetime ago, Pete and I decided to start a food column on Drugstore Divas. He loved cooking and I loved spending time with him, so it was a great way for us to bond. One of our first posts was a prosciutto and Brussels sprouts recipe. The pictures on that post were so old, and terrible, and tiny, so I wanted to update them by making a bacon and Brussels sprouts recipe.

That’s what bloggers do, sometimes.

If there’s an old post from back before bloggers really knew anything about how to style the perfect shot or write it perfectly for google to find it, the blogger will update it.

I do that.

Often, every Thursday, I will find an old post and update it. So that was my plan this time.

But when I went back to the post, I didn’t see the awful photos. I saw the kitchen in Pete’s old apartment. I saw his old plates. And a flood of memories from our early days came back to me.

How could I update that? Nope. No matter how my photo and cooking skills have improved, I couldn’t delete those photos. They’re a part of Drugstore Divas’ history — and they’re a part of our history.

Now, my guacamole may get updated one day, but that Brussels sprouts post will, stay as is. And now we’ll have two Brussels sprouts recipes to enjoy.

Bacon And Brussels Sprouts Ingredients:

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices of bacon
• 1 large onion
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

How To Make Bacon And Brussels Sprouts:

Boil a pot of water. Chop off the ends of the Brussels sprouts, then add them to the boiling water. Boil them about 7 minutes.

When they’re done, strain them and immediately spray them with cold water. This will stop the cooking.

Slice them in half.

Add the olive oil to a skillet.

Chop your bacon into small pieces, slice your onions, and put them in a skillet.

Cook them until the bacon is cooked through and the onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and salt to the pan. Cook until the Brussels sprouts brown a little, about five minutes.
