Oh Lord, Brussel Sprouts! Yes, I am going to show you a recipe that will turn you into a lover of brussel sprouts! Vegetables are all about how you prepare them. No offense to my mother, but I grew up with a lot of steamed and mushy vegetables. While my mother was doing her best, she was also stuck in the trend that said steaming is the only way to eat vegetables. Needless to say, I didn’t grow up loving my veggies. I have always been a picky eater and it wasn’t until college that I really started to try new foods.
Brussel Sprouts were one vegetable that I was convinced I hated. Seriously, until last year I had never even tried them. How sad! The first time I tried them was at Thanksgiving. I watched as my brother made them and while he sprinkled bacon and breadcrumbs over top I knew it was time to give the veggie a chance. Thank God I did! I have been making them this way for a couple weeks now and can’t get enough. Are you ready to learn how???
