Brussels Sprouts are one of my top go to vegetables during winter time…and to think I didn’t start liking them until very recently! I even had nightmares about Brussels Sprouts growing up!! (no joke, haha!) The problem was I had only ever tasted overcooked boiled Brussels Sprouts, with NO butter and NO salt or other seasoning. Brussels Sprouts were ALWAYS on the Christmas table each year, and I kept staying FAR away from them even as an adult because of my childhood memories…<\/p>\n

Then a few years ago, my sister made a Christmas dish that had fried Brussels Sprouts in it, and I finally gathered enough bravery to try Brussels Sprouts again – this time I actually liked them!! Now I absolutely LOVE Brussels Sprouts and could eat them every day all winter long! \ud83d\ude42 The reason I’m sharing this story with you is because I know what it feels like to not like a certain vegetable, and to honestly think you could never start liking it…but I also know what it’s like to realize that you don’t hate that vegetable after all…maybe you find out that you really DO like it once you try it cooked a different way. There are so many ways to cook different types of food, the variations are endless!<\/p>\n

I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite ways of cooking Brussels Sprouts. Some you may have tried before, some may be new…or maybe you’ve never tried Brussels Sprouts before or think you don’t like them because you’ve like me only ever tried them cooked in one way?<\/p>\n
