Hi Joi,

Both my husband and I HATED brussel sprouts as kids but we are trying to eat mostly organic whole foods.  You might laugh at this - but I purchased only 4 sprouts to try with your recipe and it was GREAT! grin No longer the yuk bitter taste that we recalled from our childhood. So I have now purchased a whole pound for the family to enjoy. Thanks for proving to us that old nightmare eating days are a thing of the past. Yummy! 
Motivated to eat better whole food and moving too!

Sincerely,
Erin

Awesome!

I totally understand!  You really just have to find a way to prepare them that you like.  I find that it is like that with most foods 98% of the time.

I’m so glad that you have expanded your vegetable choices to include brussel sprouts now.  Kudos for giving them a try again!

Keep moving!

Joi
