Lots of produce goodness in season this December and Brussels Sprouts are at the top of my list. They are my favorite vegetable hands down.
Fun fact: Brussels sprouts are the only craving I had during any of my pregnancies.

Here are 3 of my favorite ways to serve them:
Easy: Carrabbas Style
What you need:
4 pieces of sugar free bacon
Brussels sprouts
Lemon
What you do:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
2. Cook your bacon in a dutch oven and reserve
3. Wash and halve your Brussels sprouts
4. Crank up the heat and stir fry your Brussels Sprouts in the bacon grease until they get a little char
5. Put the lid on and pop in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until they are as soft as you prefer.
6. In a separate bowl, toss Brussels sprouts and crunched up the bacon; squeeze a lemon over them, stir and serve immediately.
Easier: Stir Fried
What you need:
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Brussels Sprouts
Minced garlic
Garlic salt
What you do:
1. Heat the pan on high heat, add the EVOO and let it get shimmery.
2. Wash and halve your Brussels sprouts
3. Add your Brussels sprouts being careful of splattering oil and sprinkle with garlic salt. Adjust the temp as necessary to get a good char but not burn. Cook until desired softness stirring constantly. Add in the garlic for the last minute being careful not to burn it.
Easiest: Roasted and tossed with balsamic reduction
What you need:
Brussels Sprouts
Balsamic Vinegar
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Wash and halve your Brussels sprouts
3. Roast until desired doneness and make reduction while roasting ( bring 1 cup of balsamic vinegar to a gentle boil, reduce heat to simmer. Stir frequently - it's done when it's reduced and coats your spoon.)
4. Toss roasted Brussels sprouts in sauce and serve
