Brussels Brussels Brussels
too late for a thanksgiving post? nah. i mean, people start listening to christmas music in october so clearly switching the holidays around is not too frowned upon.
i had three friendsgivings this year… THREE. basically that is to say I had some serious food comas but also some serious foodie moments like oh i need to post this {!!!}
is it odd that one of my favorite dishes was the brussels sprouts prepared by my dear friend, kelly? creamy casseroles and sweet potato pies will always be thanksgiving classics/favorites, but it was refreshing to spot a healthy dish to add to my plate. after all.. i had to celebrate this holiday four times (once with the fam), so.. not tryna gain ten pounds here.
i am a self proclaimed connoisseur of brussels sprouts. or maybe i’m just picky.. but these were the bomb. and SO easy to make. when it comes to healthy/clean recipes i’m all about quick and easy.
ever been all excited to make the “best skinny chocolate cake” recipe you find on pinterest and they ask you to casually toss in some xanthan gum? i’m sure xanthan gum tastes great but what? no. none of that in my cabinet. i’m 100% about convenient cooking.
brussels sprouts also offer some great health benefits you can check out {here} i hope you enjoy these babies as much as i did!

I have some in my freezer that I didn’t know what to do with them. I will have to try your recipe!

I don’t really like brussel sprouts. It’s great to find different ways to try them.
That looks so yummy! I love easy recipes like this. I can’t wait to try this.
Ooh these sound so good! I’ll be doing this next week! 🙂
I love Brussels sprouts so much! We had Thanksgiving at my inlaws. My sister in law makes the best Brussels sprouts dish. I don’t even know what all she puts in but it’s delicious.
oh my! I don’t remember the last time I had brussels! When I was a kid? Your recipe sounds tasty though!
I love brussels sprouts! One of my favorite vegetables. I tried to grow them a couple years ago, but failed miserably. And no, I don’t think it is too late for a Thanksgiving post. This would be delicious at Christmas time as well!
I’ve always loved brussel sprouts, but only ever cooked them one way. Thanks for sharing, I’ll try these.
This sounds so good! Brussel Sprouts aren’t usually my favorite, but I have had a few friends roast them and they tasted SO good!
Interesting recipe, wish I could do the tasting from here because it looks sizzling and tasty!
I love roasted brussel sprouts. Add a little olive oil and sea salt. soooo good.
I have never been able to acquire a taste for these but I keep trying. This looks like I may like them though 😉
Haven’t tried too many brussels in my day but they are everywhere right now! I’d love to make this to toss into a winter salad, yum!
I can’t lie I LOVE brussels sprouts. People think I am utterly nuts, but I love them they are delicious!
Haven’t tried too many brussels in my day but they are everywhere right now! I’d love to make my own and this recipe sounds delish!
Wow this sounds so yummy! Will have to try this out with the family this holiday season.
Sure does sound like an easy side dish! And I’m always up for a good Thanksgiving side dish!
I love brussels sprouts. They are so full of flavor and so easy to make. We have them often in the fall.
Yum! I love brussel sprouts. They’re one of my favorite vegetables. I will definitely be making this for Christmas!
Yum! Is it dinner time yet? I actually love brussels sprouts! The way you prepared them sounds delicious.
Yum, sounds amazing! My husband and I are huge fans of brussels sprouts, but I bet this is a little healthier than our favorite fried brussels sprouts!! 🙂
This sounds amazing I love how creatively you have used the brussel sprouts. It sounds absolutely heavenly.
Brussels sprouts are my favorite vegetable of all time. I make them all the time and thankfully both of my kids like them, too 🙂
