Craving Brussels Sprouts… What!?

January 6, 2010 by Julie 15 Comments

When I asked you guys about foods you used to hate but you now love a couple of days ago, Brussels sprouts were mentioned and a craving was born. (Oh my gosh, did I really just say I was craving Brussels sprouts? I give you permission to hate me.)

Brussels Sprouts

I’ve only ever enjoyed Brussels sprouts after tossing them with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasting them. I love the crunchy lil’ leaves too much to try them any other way. If anyone out there has other Brussels sprout recipe recommendations, feel free to send ’em my way.

Gettin' My Greens

Ryan and I enjoyed the veggie with Bantry Bay mussels in a tomato and garlic sauce. We bought these mussels when they were on sale (buy one get one free!) and we have been so impressed with how tasty these lil’ babie are. You’d never know they’ve been frozen.

Muscles

To keep the seafoodie theme goin’, Ryan and I also slurped down a hot bowl of light New England clam chowder.

Chowdah

Delish dinn-ah!

You may select from a variety of topping/flavors ranging from the classic peanut-topped caramel apple to the pistachio turtle dark (my choice) caramel apple.

Gotta love freebies! 😀

    I love and crave brussels too! They’re amazing roasted to me too, but I also really like just steaming them and sprinkling with salt and pepper!

    I know they’re not very healthy, full of anti nutrients and oxalates. but damn. they are so delicious when roasted. sv3rige an anti vegan channel on youtube would say were all mentally I’ll but idc I love them

      actually not oxalates. my bad relatively low. they’re high in goitrogens which are bad for your thyroid. but regardless I still love them with bacon and balsamic
