GRANDMA'S SPECIAL BRUSSELS SPROUTS (YOU WON'T SAY EEEEWWW)
This recipe is from my Grandma Burk who sugar coated veggies so that we kids would eat them. I loved these growing up and I love them now. A special (kinda) sweet sauce with bacon makes those sprouts sublime.

NOT GRANDMA'S BRUSSELS SPROUTS
My son kept asking me to buy these at the store, but I always had it in my mind that they didn't taste good, so...kept putting it off. Finally, I gave in, and bought a bag. Not knowing how to really prepare them, I realized...these sprouts looked like little heads of lettuce, and that's where I got my inspiration. I'm happy to say, my mind has been changed, and we gladly welcome these tasty bites onto our dinner table!

SPECIAL BRUSSELS SPROUTS
I GREW UP on a farm in southern Louisiana, so we had fresh vegetables most of the year. Mother served brussels sprouts at least twice a week. Fresh from the garden, they were sweet and tender. Now I make this recipe all year using frozen sprouts. -Ruby Miguez, Crowley, Louisiana
