Kid-Approved Brussels Sprouts

Will a 9 year old, who is a sworn non- vegetable lover/eater eat Brussels sprouts? The question was answered by my Nephew last month with an astonishing “yes!”

I almost fell over. Seriously.

This Kid-Approved Brussel Sprout Recipe is a light side dish that is easy to fall in love with and is completely kid approved! Give it a whirl and tell me whom you turned into a Brussels lover!

Yum!
