Sprouts help you grow!

          As a kid my mother use to tell me to clear my plate no matter what type of vegetables were on that plate.  No little kid wants to eat the green things on the plate the looked like whole baby cabbage.  Brussels sprouts were never my favorite side item at dinner but I ate them because mom said to clear my plate before we even thought about going outside to play.  We always ate them the same way blanched and sautéed off before serving tossed with a season salt and pepper and garlic as normal.  Now when I think about eating brussels sprouts, I think of the different ways to make apps or make them the star of the plate. Eating my veggies as a kid helped me grow over them now as a young adult.
