Long gone are the days when eating your brussels sprouts was considered a chore. The little green vegetables that we despised so much as children are now one of our favorite side dishes. Brussels sprouts are one of the few reasons to look forward to the onset of cold weather. We love to buy them on the stalk. Not only do they look cool, but it is fun to snap them off! You seem to get more for your money if you can find them this way.
