I Love Brussels Sprouts Society: UPDATES & NEW MEMBER DRIVE

[amldaley]

Do you get points for growing your own? Ours did great in the garden this year, despite being shamefully neglected. We actually kind of forgot about them (everything else was done for by that point), but it worked out since they're such a late harvest. Yummy!

You TOTALLY get points for that!

So, you didn't do anything special to them? Just plant and grow?

'Tis the season for brussels sprouts - yeah!!!! Another roaster here - olive oil, salt, high heat - YUM.

It IS the season, isn't it? My Costco FINALLY got them back in last weekend. I was ecstatic and walking around saying it was the happiest day of the year!

I have always loved Brussels sprouts! I can only get DH and my boys to eat 1-2, but that's fine with me... more for me!!! I like to roast them too, but I like to add sliced onions to the pan, with olive oil, s&p, a sprinkle of garlic powder. The sweetness of the onion really compliments the sprouts. Mmmm. I'm usually eating a whole serving while putting the 1-2 token sprouts on the boys' plates, then still piling up the rest on my plate...

Can I join?

For making the suggestion to add garlic powder...YES - you can join!

I am attempting to grow some as well.

MissyM: When did your plants develop the spike which the sprouts grow on? So far I just have a leafy plant.

I bought a stalk last weekend and sauteed them in olive oil, garlic and brown sugar.

I also added a few raw ones to some butternut squash I made in the Vitamix.

1) BROWN SUGAR?? I might have to try that tomorrow as my old stand by, balsamic vinegar, has been giving me headaches.

2) Raw? Aren't they bitter? I am intrigued!

It didn't help the flavor. The guy did it at Costco when making a mango smoothie so I thought I would try it for the soup too.

So well we steam sprouts and add nothing and eat them. They trick is to get them very well cooked. Yummy!! Kids love them!

I adore brussel sprouts.

I usually follow this recipe, without the cheese.

I adore brussels sprouts.

We just add some olive oil and kosher salt and either pan fry or bake depending on our mood. SOOO good.
