How long has it been since you've had Brussels Sprouts?

Christmas two years ago when my mum hid one in a ferrero rocher wrapper because she knows I hate them ):

the face of evil lives in your refrigerator...

See, demonizing foods like this in the name of clean eating is why so many people have challenges falling off the wagon. They deprive themselves of the delicious foods they love, and then end curled up on the floor covered in butter, bacon, brussel sprouts, and tears.

You need to make room for these occasional treats in your menu.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: If my husband is cooking up food with garlic in it ... I make sure i eat brussel sprouts ...
As they have a Windddddy ... effect on me .
You might say pay back for Garlic breath ... lmao !:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Since I was a young child, I have hated them. I used to cut them in half and swallow them, so I wouldn't have to chew them. As an adult, when I grew to love most every vegetable besides okra, I thought I'd give them another try. I even found a great recipe to roast them with bacon and shallots, with a touch of maple syrup. Sounded so good. Reality.............under all that bacon, shallots and caramelized goodness..........remained that horrible, poopy tasting vegetable. lol I love savoy cabbage, red cabbage and some basic cabbage, so I'm not an avoider of anything cabbagy (?)..........but those little green orbs of nasty taste remain, for me, the most dreaded vegetable of all time. Was out with a friend last night, stopped in TJ Maxx, there on the shelf, was a jar of pickled hot brussel sprouts!! Pickled?? No thank you!

Last week at brunch. I used to hate them because my mother can't cook vegetables to save her life. She would boil the heck out of them leaving them just nasty and devoid of any nutrition.

I now roast them and look for other recipes. I found one that even got my father to love them and as far as I knew, he hated them. I think it is more about how you cook them.

Brussels sprouts and bacon. Mmmmm

I like you. Bacon fixes everything...even brussel sprouts.

A couple of days. I like them!

About two weeks for me. But I like them, tastes so yummy like cabbage!!! Mmmmmm!

I'd eat them every day. Love them.

I love them. Probably eat them at least once a week.

Way too long. Weeks. I gotta have some, oven roasted with butter and coarse ground pepper and sprinkled with crumbled bacon.

...now talk to me about asparagus and I think that tastes like grass...However, I do eat some occasionally.

I know, right? Asparagus is...ok, but nothing to write home about.

But Brussels sprouts are nature's veggie truffles of goodness!

I had some yesterday at lunch! That was the third time this week I have eaten some. Cruciferous vegetables are my faves! I have more in my freezer.
