    What is your favorite way to prepare your brussels sprouts? I love them already, but I have two reluctant men to convince to try them LOL :)

    Depends on what I'm having, but a salad is a favorite. I also like asparagus sautéed with garlic, pepper and cherry tomatos.

    Recently had Brussels Sprouts for the first time. Last night I grilled them in a foil pouch with olive oil, lemon juice, one pat of butter, salt, pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Sprinkle lightly with freshly shredded parm...

    My wife makes this. You can customize to make more or less healthy, but I'll give you the complete version (that eats like a meal!).

    Steam / pan fry some green beans in olive oil, so skin blisters slightly.

    In another pan, caramelize some onions or shallots in olive oil.

    When done, marry the two. Top with toasted walnuts, dried cranberries and bleu cheese crumbles.

    Dag, child, that's a tasty side.

    Ever so many! I love Haricot Vert (the skinny green beans) steamed or boiled or sauteed. Kale, blanched and then sauteed with garlic, salt and pepper. Bell pepper is always a great addition to any veggie side dish to give it a little different flavor. Brussel sprouts, which are good just with garlic, salt and pepper but even better with pancetta or bacon!

    Roasted brussel sprouts and/or cauliflower is a favorite. But it really depends what I'm serving it with.

    Collard greens lightly sautéed in garlic infused olive oil is another favorite. (or kale)

    Quinoa salad is another.

    Or sautéed sweet potatoes and onions.

    Spaghetti squash with pesto, or with just a little freshly grated parmesan, or with olive oil and fresh peas.

    Grilled zucchini is really good too. Although zucchini chunks in marinara is also very tasty.

    Oh, roasted green beans with garlic!

    Cooked brown rice with just a little olive oil and toasted almond slivers is quite nice.

    Quinoa salad is really nice with a light protein (such as white fish) dinner.

    Spinach and strawberry salad with balsamic.

    Mashed white veggies (any mix of white potatoes, cauliflower, turnips, parsnips) is excellent with chicken.

    my favorite sides are easily a bake sweet potato with just a bit of salt and pepper, sauteed/grilled zucchini and squash, or primal cauliflower (cauliflower, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, baked in oven). Both are DELICIOUS and super easier. I also like Kale chips but they can be hit or miss. The key is making sure they are dry before putting them in the oven.

    Hope this helps! :)
