Today I have a guest post from the lovely Katie of Katie’s Cucina. Thanks for being here, Katie!

Hi Rachel Cooks’ readers! I’m Katie from the food blog Katie’s Cucina. I am a Marketing professional during the day and home cook extraordinaire at night! I have no classical culinary training. Everything I’ve learned has been from my mom, watching cooking shows, and good ‘ol trial and error.
Katie’s Cucina is a place where I share my love for food – developing and cooking mouthwatering recipes weekly, baking indulgent desserts, and sharing foodie travels from coast to coast.
I’ve never met Rachel in person, but for a few years now we have connected through the internet (and can I just boast for second and tell you how sweet she is). Hopefully one of these days we will connect in real life. Last fall, I took a rather long vacation to Europe and Rachel was kind enough to help me out while I was gone and guest post for me. I had told her upon my return back from Europe that I would help her out once her sweet baby was born. So, here I am!
Now let me show you how to make my Smoked Paprika and Shallot Brussels Sprouts!
People either love or hate Brussels sprouts. It wasn’t until my late teens/early twenties when I first began to fall in love with Brussels sprouts. I am always looking for new ways to cook them up.
I also love to keep my vegetable side dishes relatively healthy and not drown them in butter and fattening sauces. That is why I turned to my good friend, I mean spice, smoked paprika. This spice packs a punch and can bring tons of new layers of flavors to any dish. I just so happened to have a shallot in my pantry so I decided to make them fancy and add an extra-large shallot to the pan.
