Oh Brussels sprouts, you either love ’em or you hate ’em. Personally, I love these baby cabbages – how can you not love anything in miniature form?!  I’ve come to realize that people who don’t like them have not had them cooked awesomely.  Their mom or whomever boiled the crap out of them, thus resulting in a green pile of mush.  I think I can convert you folks with this recipe.

This makes a fabulous Thanksgiving side dish or just eat a giant bowl of it for dinner like I did and get a wicked dose of fibre, Vitamin C and healthy fats.
