    Brussels Sprouts Salad

    Guys, I’ve been very bad lately and shopping and spending like Carrie Bradshaw in a Manolo Blahnik store. Except I don’t actually have that kind of dough, but I still find myself feeling extremely guilty whenever I check my bank account.

    The air is definitely chillier and I have finally accepted that fall is here and winter is coming. With that, we head into a different food harvest. Today, we are going to shine the spotlight on Brussels sprouts.

    Brussels sprouts are an excellent fall and winter vegetable. I didn’t grow up eating them because no one in my family ever liked them. My first experience with them was in college a few years back. One of my roommates made them for dinner and I reluctantly tried the crispy brown-green vegetable. Now, I roast them all the time for their delicious flavor and texture.
