Brussels Sprouts




Brussels Sprouts

MY LOVE HATE LOVE RELATIONSHIP

Who else hated brussels sprouts when they were a kid? No matter which way they were cooked I wouldn’t go near them. Now as I age, I can’t seem to get enough of this miniature looking cabbages. Either my taste buds have changed or I just make them better than I did years ago. It’s probably a little of both.

I now have brussels sprouts at least twice a week. I only make them three ways and they’re all good. I’ll give you all three recipes here and you can decide which one is your favorite. Personally I like them roasted the best. My wife like them steamed and buttered and yes the kids still won’t eat them. However you try them, make sure they’re not overcooked.
