Brussels Sprouts
You read the title and still decided to click on it. That gives me full permission to tell you to turn your nose down and give it a try! Brussels sprouts are delicious! I think most people don’t like them because of how they were cooked when they were kids. No shade to your Mom, but she made them all wrong!
Brussels sprouts carry this natural sweetness that comes out beautifully when roasted. Pair that natural sweetness with the salty deliciousness we know and love as bacon, and you have a full-on flavor explosion in your mouth!
Try these out this Thanksgiving. I promise EVERYONE will eat them!
Enjoy!
