    Brussels sprouts are my new favorite food! I love them! Starting to actually crave them. If you would have told me that a few years ago I'd have thought you were crazy!
    What I do is steam them in my microwave steamer for a few minutes. Then I drizzle a bit of olive oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Pop them in the oven at 450 for a few minutes until they get a little brown and crispy they are soooo good!

    I used to hate Brussels sprouts, now I really enjoy them. Not sure what happened.
    I can tell you that I don't care for them cooked in water as much as I do in broth.
    I just put a little chicken or beef broth in a small pan, added a layer of Brussels sprouts and cook until tender. Then I spray them with a couple squirts of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray.

    Just don't let the moisture run out while cooking (like I did the last two times). The smell of scorched Brussels sprouts lingers for hours.

    I crave then too...so good! I wouldn't touch them up until a year ago. I tried them to be polite at a friends house. Have been hooked since!

    I halve them, coat with olive oil, salt and pepper, grill or roast 'em then sprinkle with feta or parmesan cheese. I like the burnt ones the best

    I like to steam them and eat them plain with a little hot sauce. My coworkers grown when I bring in the left-overs for lunch... They really stink up the place!!

    I make these all the time; I think I'm addicted to them. I try very hard to share with my wife but inside, I want to chew her arm off so I can eat hers too!

    I like to cut them in half and then put them on a baking pan and drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on them. You bake them and they get all crispy and delicious.

    cut an "X" in the bottom of them and cover them with orange juice and poach until tender. You won't believe how good they are.

    Try them steamed in the microwave, drizzle a little butter flavored spray over them, garlic salt and if you want a little extra flavor, sprinkle just a bit of parmesan cheese on them. Yum!!!!!
