Little Green Goodness

I have discovered that I am deeply in love with brussel sprouts. That’s right…those little cabbage like veggies that make most people gag. They’re tiny. They’re tasty. They’re perfectly packaged in their own little leaves. They grew on me slowly, but now we’ve found a way to work them into nearly every meal. Omelets with brussel sprouts for breakfast? Why not! Rice noodles with peanut sauce? Don’t forget the brussel sprouts! Don’t be surprised if you come down to visit and Brett and I serve you vanilla ice cream with brussel sprouts on top for dessert. We’ve not yet tested that one, but I believe it merits a trial run. I tried brussel sprouts once as a kid and nearly puked they were so awful. I decided to try them again as an adult, since there was an abundance of them at the market where they were flowing over the table and spilling into the eggplants below. A little skeptical, I bought just a handful and tossed them into a stirfry. I had no idea that biting into them releases a spicy mustard flavor. I am forever hooked. How do you think they’d taste with Cheerios in the morning? Maybe I should talk to General Mills about marketing that one. Lucky for me, I have an in there.
