Sam actually does love Brussels sprouts (much to my chagrin) so I have been making them on occasion. I recently used Erin's advice and made a balsamic reduction, but I first sauteed the sprouts in bacon drippings (which only seems to defeat the purpose of eating them in the first place!), then topped with crumbled bacon, the balsamic reduction and fresh Parmesan cheese. Luke ate TWO before gagging and I managed to get 4 down. I still didn't care for them, but they were manageable! ;-) Thanks Lisa… Sam actually does love Brussels sprouts (much to my chagrin) so I have been making them on occasion.

After having your Quinoa salad yesterday, I will try anything you make! :-) I think I am going to try Brussels again this week (gulp) with a Balsamic Reduction... Maybe I better turn the camera on myself this time instead of Luke! Renee,

Had them for the first time over Thanksgiving and I really liked them. We cut ours in half so they aren't so big and roast them then toss with a bit of balsamic vinegar or toss and then roast. Also try them with a bit of fresh shredded Parmesan cheese on top when they come out of the oven. I have some in the frig right now that I need to make... I have been learning to eat a lot of new veggies now as an adult, stuff my mom never made us. Broccoli was about as exotic as it got at our house. Green beans, peas and corn were the standby's.
