So I had brussels sprouts on Thanksgiving.. and I liked 'em!! This, my friends, is huge. Brussels sprouts used to be my most hated of hated veggies (and I HATED veggies!), my parents used to make me sit at the table until I finished all the greenery on my plate and if I didn't finish them then I got the same darn veggies for breakfast, lunch, dinner.. until I finally ate them. Brussels sprouts however were the vegetable that I would end up either starving for 3 days or grounded over, because I flat out refused to eat them.
All that changed on Thursday, my wonderful friend Venus made a very tasty (vegan) veggie dish with brussels sprouts, and for the first time in my life I willingly put one in my mouth.. and now I find myself thinking I will stop at the grocery store tonight and pick a peck of sprouts to have for dinner. (They are very high in Vitamin A, C, folic acid & fibre).
Yay! This has been your nonsense blog post of the day!
( I also always thought that it was brussel sprouts but according to both Wikipedia and my spell check it is brussellS sprouts... who knew?)

I have a great recipe for roasted brussels sprouts with a few shallots thrown in. Shockingly good.
Damn girl.. I just got whiplash.. I just posted that damn thing not 30 seconds ago! Are you stalking me??
That's awesome! I'm doing my usual "I hate doing what I should be doing so I'm checking every blog ever instead of writing" moment.
Or maybe I *am* stalking you.
Cutest stalker I've ever had!
Don't think I've ever had brussels sprouts. And who knew...brusselS...I sure didn't!
Things that make you go Mmmm...or is it Hmmm?
Beaver's most hated food.
And I agree. Your parents were tough. We're happy if our kids eat the poptarts.
That's just yucky! Of course, I am thinking you need to pretty much like all veggies, being vegan.

I hated those things too, then found a renewed love of them last year thanks to the following simple recipe:
Mix in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and a dash of lemon pepper. Cook at 400 for 20 minutes, broiling the last two minutes until they char a bit.
Easy, good for you, and tastes great! Must be a mature taste bud that kicks in after 20 years. ;-)
