Lemon Chive Brussels Sprouts

Fixed these for supper tonight. I had fresh chives growing in a pot, but used dried dill weed and frozen Brussels Sprouts as I could not get fresh sprouts now. The frozen ones worked just fine and we all liked the flavor of the lemon and dill with the chives. They were quick to fix, I used the time on the package of sprouts to start with instead of the time for the fresh. My family has always liked sprouts and this is a good recipe for people who haven’t tried them before.
