Bring on the brussel sprouts! I love them with lemon, a tiny bit of butter with sprinkling of fried prosciutto crumbles, Yummy! My kids ask for them at the grocery store. One time I decided I was going to be cheap and buy frozen ones for convenience sake (I never make frozen veggies). BIG mistake. I served them up and the kids were all excited (because they are weird and like brussel sprouts!) and dug in eagerly only for their noses to scrunch up in disgust. They looked at me and were like "Mom what are these? They are NOT brussel sprouts!". I tried one for myself to see the "light". Yes, they were awful. Turned to mush the minute your teeth began squeezing down. Absolutely disgusting. Now I always buy fresh. That memory keeps everything in perspective.

Yep, like you, I definitely love brussels sprouts and squash--roasted is even better! Luckily, we don't watch the Super Bowl here, so no worries about what to eat. ;)

Thanks for your comment on my blog--re: cravings, I'm sorry to say that now, even after ELEVEN MONTHS on the anti-candida diet, I still get cravings. I wonder if perhaps one just gets used to them and learns to ignore them. . . some days I have to decide "nothing sweet"--not even w/ stevia--until it subsides. Do you have any strategies to overcome cravings?

The upside, of course, is that I eat lots of meals like this one, and the health benefits are astounding. At least I love veggies, too! :)

I love brussel sprouts, but Moonpie calls them Little Balls of Death so I don't fix them often. I have never roasted them before, but will certainly try this.

brussels and butternut squash are one of my fave combos (toss in a few cranberries and i'd die). i'd rather have THAT than anything i'm sure will be offered today.

Your brussel sprouts are looking mighty fine to me :) I love em but I have never prepared them myself before!

Brussel sprouts are definitely the perfect special occasion food. They are so savory... espesh roasted with some evoo and lots of oregano. My parents turn up their noses at my brussels... but I think they are just grrrrryum!!! :)

I just bought squash and brussels sprouts last night. Now I know what I'm making for dinner. Yummy!

2010-02-05T10:28:38.595-05:00

I'm running into the same "taste bud" issues with family and friends. I was chatting with people yesterday at work about filling up on veggies at lunch (the lady I was talking with had some microwave 200-calorie pizza that was about the size of my hand - no joke - and was complaining about how it wasn't going to fill her up.) I mentioned steamed spinach, kale, collards, to which everyone within earshot wrinkled their noses. And then I proceeded to take my giant tub of kale out of the microwave. Whatever, more for me. Same at home - husband made the "gag" face when sniffing some lentils I was cooking. They were lentils de puy - the KING of lentils! Again, more for me! Who says health food has to be gross?

Yuuuum! I haven't a brussel sprout in a very long time; I love them though! My grama used to make them for my sister and I, but they were lathered in butter (nooooo! haha). I feel like the semi bittery taste of the b sprouts would be awesome with the squash. Because of this post, I've already added brussel sprouts and acorn squash to this weekends shopping list!

(Also - you're new profile photo is gorgeous! Love the angle of the sun and the color too :))

Heather - I didn't like brussel sprouts growing up, but now that I know how to cook them, I love them! And I don't follow sports either, but my boyfriend's a fanatic. Especially if it's an Ohio team.

Yum that looks awesome. I have been wanting some organic brussel sprouts but the price has been really high. I absolutely, and always have, loved brussel sprouts. I have no idea why other people cringe at their name.

I don't follow sports, nor does my husband, so we don't do anything for the super bowl. But I have heard a lot of people talking about it lately so I guess it is coming up!
