Brussel Sprouts are yummy, and water doesn’t really rust your pipes…

If you know me at all, (and I hope that you will read my blog often!) you know that my Grandfather was a V.I.P. in my life. I could fill volumes on how much he meant to me, and to everyone who knew him, as there was really something special about him.

But there was one particular thing about him, that is relevant to this post….  He was super fun. He was always joking around with my brothers and I, and playing games with us, and telling us stories. Because I looked up to him so much, and also because I’m very gullible, I believed everything he told me. (Well, almost everything… I didn’t really believe that drinking water would rust your pipes..) He once told me that he liked every vegetable, EXCEPT for brussel sprouts, and that they were terrible. So I honestly went through my whole life believing that brussel sprouts are terrible and I never. even. tried them! I was brussel sprout curious, I must admit, but I didn’t do it. And then a few years ago, a friend of mine brought a large stalk of brussel sprouts to my house for a BBQ (yes, she’s a total hippy), and she proceeded to prepare them, with just oil,  salt, and pepper. The curiosity got the better of me! And you know what?  They were great, but you probably already guessed that, because I wouldn’t have made a whole post and recipe about them if they weren’t amazing! I honestly think that most people, (including my Grandfather) don’t like brussel spouts because of the way they are prepared. Brussel Sprouts actually taste a lot like cabbage, so if you like cabbage, chances are, you’ll like brussel sprouts. They should be eaten steamed, until they are crisp tender, or roasted, like in this recipe. So if you’ve been on the fence about brussel sprouts, please, give this recipe for roasted brussel sprouts a try, you’ll be glad you did!
