My mom has been a brussels sprouts fan since I can remember but we didn’t eat them much growing up. Now that I’m a full-grown adult with sprouts-loving palate, I mourn all the years spent not eating them. I first made these for Thanksgiving last […]

When I reflect on famous childhood villains, Scar from the Lion King, Freddy Krueger, and the Leprechaun had nothing on brussels sprouts. They were the bane of every TV kid’s existence. I counted myself lucky that my mother never served them to us. I thought my siblings and I were […]
