Some nights I steam a bunch and that’s all I have for dinner.

Nope just a plain white sauce. Sometimes that’s all I will have for dinner. My mother in law introduced me to that recipe. She was a fabulous cook

Forgot after steaming just put on a liberal amount of salt and pepper and dip the half’s in sour cream.

At Christmas.......steam the b/s, add cooked chestnuts (the imported Italian types) and serve with plenty of butter.

Heavenly.

You can get bacon ends by the pound at Shop N Save here...

I like my sprouts split and roasted with a little sugar, parmesan, lemon or orange juice, olive oil and dried cranberries [add the berries near the end of the roasting process so they don’t burn. Oh, and bacon...]

Salt and a little lemon juice really improves boiled ones’ flavor and scent and helps their color too, but of course never over boil them.

Slice them thin and they make a beautiful intensely green slaw.

From the time I first laid eyes on the nasty little things when I was a kid, I knew I was going to hate them. But I was wrong. I loved them! Still do.

You probably had the boiled ones. I like the roasted ones with garlic and olive oil.

A few weeks ago I cut some in half and roasted them in a little garlic and duck fat. They went over very well at a family get together.

I get the microwavable bag of baby Brussels sprouts from Aldi 6 minutes then dump em in a bowl with a couple of pats of butter. My favorite veggie!

I like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli...but Brussels Sprouts.... No.
One of maybe 2 or 3 vegetables I won’t eat.

Tiny cabbages... The wermacht marched through Brussels on a few occasions to try and educate the locals on how to grow proper kohl. The Brusselodians refused to listen.

Yes sir, that is how I cook them. Also known to add some balsamic vinegar.

My wife and I put about 15-20, along with thinly-sliced heirloom garlic and just a tiny bit of water, in a microwavable bowl and microwave for 2 - 2:15 minutes. We then put a teaspoon of butter on it.

It is at that right spot between firm and soft. Tastes great!
