I used to hate brussels sprouts with a passion until I discovered the magic of whiskey and butter poured over the top of steamed sprouts. Garlic makes it even better.

delicious!

mmmm… delicious.

My dad doesn’t like them, so my mom never made them. I hadn’t ever had brussels sprouts until I moved out and my roommate made them all the time. They are amazing roasted as well..

Wow so I’m definitely showing this to my mom who refused to ever raise me with brussell sprouts because she hated them as a kid. These look good!

Hmmm… the hubby has been mentioning a desire to expand the vegetable offerings of the table.

Here’s hoping he ment it, as I’m off to the grocer’s to grab a pound and see how these turn out!

I just discovered brussel sprouts and love them! My mom hates them and never served them when I was growing up. I am almost angry that it took me 29 years to discover them. I will have to try to prepare them this way…they look yummy!

Yes, everyone sings the wonders of bacon and I can’t have any but for those of you who can, these brussels sprouts were addictive as they were….bacon would be icing on the cake.

These sound fabulous! I would definitely opt for the butter/oil mixture for the buttery richness it would add. For a less, um, vegetarian version, I might sauté a little chopped bacon and use that instead of the butter for browning the vegetables.

I adore my sprouts cooked with garlic and bacon. Then I plop a poached egg on top. Divine. I don’t understand how I only discovered them in my twenties (my mum hated them and never made them for us when we were growing up.) I was robbed! ROBBED!

Dude I made this exact vegetable the other night! Even with the chili flake and squirt of orange (instead of lemon) and everything! Cheers.

Ha! My own husband despises brussels sprouts, sadly. Also turnips, which I discovered the first year we were married, seconds after he literally spat them back out into the stew I’d made. He thought they were potatoes, poor thing.

Your photos look yummy.
