She Loves Brussels Sprouts



When we saw huge stalks of brussels sprouts at Trader Joes selling for a song, Elizabeth insisted we take one home. She was tickled pink to see them on a stalk, and even happier to discover that one stalk provided enough sprouts for 3 meals.

We usually steam them until just done (7-9 minutes) and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Elizabeth likes to eat the leftovers cold.

The boys are not big brussels sprouts fans. Elizabeth doesn't mind. "More for me!" she says with glee.

Maybe one day we'll try a new recipe, like
Martha's Brussels Sprouts with Lemon and Walnuts.

What's your favorite vegetable? Do you like brussels sprouts?

  1. Great photo! We grew brussel sprouts in our garden one year and they are a sight to see. I am not a huge brussel sprouts fan but I've learned to enjoy them occasionally. My favorite recipe has a bit of honey mustard sauce poured over the steamed sprouts. My husband likes them steamed and plain.

    You have been in my prayers since your Daddy's illness and passing. May God continue to comfort you and your beautiful family.
