Brussels Sprouts

They have a bad rap.  I have to honestly say I don't think I'd ever had them before Christmas.  If my mom ever made them I either didn't eat them, or I've chosen to completely forget them.

I watched The Pioneer Woman's Christmas Special on Food Network and she made Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries.  They looked so good.  I wanted them instantly and added them to our Christmas menu.  The verdict?  They were good.  But I liked them better before adding the glaze to them.  Just roasted in the oven with some olive oil.  I couldn't stop eating them.  That's how I make them now.  Simply roasted.

I make them by washing and halving them.  Then spreading them on a cookie sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle some salt.  Toss them around a bit, then bake them in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

I want to try this recipe next - with Garlic.  Yum.
