Brussels Sprouts. Poor things…they have such a bad rap.
I really like them. And both boys willingly eat them. I had to convince them that they tasted like broccoli to get them to try them…but once they did, they both finished off their portion. The hint of maple sweetness *might* have helped them eat them all up.
I could eat these sweet maple flavored, oven roasted little green gems every night of the week!
