There’s been a lot of talk about brussels sprouts this past week: \u00a0about children <\/a>wanting<\/a><\/span><\/em> to eat them<\/a> (for real!) and a mom who just can’t stomach it, to Thanksgiving recipes for the cruciferous veggie<\/a> (how did brussels sprouts become a Thanksgiving tradition anyway?). \u00a0In response to the parents commenting on the PBS Whrll slideshow, I challenged myself to find a recipe that children and adults could enjoy, maybe…<\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you know that brussels sprouts grew like this? \u00a0I didn’t, but knowing that they belong to the cabbage family, along with broccoli and cauliflower, it becomes more clear to me. \u00a0Kids are always curious about where things come from so I think they would be intrigued by this photo. I found the real thing at Trader Joes in case you want to buy some yourself.<\/p>\n

I love this recipe from Cat Cora <\/a>of \u00a0Iron Chef fame – it’s incredibly quick and easy to make and, if you let the kids break the sprouts from the “tree”, you just might make a a brussels sprouts lover out of them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
