So, you say you won’t eat your Brussels sprouts? What if we add bacon and grapes? How about serving them alongside a juicy ribeye with a creamy port sauce. Does that make Brussel sprouts sound a little better? It definitely does to me!

But you know what kiddos? It shouldn’t just be about bacon. You should want to eat those Brussels sprouts because they are nutrient-packed little powerhouses! These mini cabbage-looking vegetables are loaded with vitamin K and C. Plus, that magical thing called fiber! So, when your mom told you to eat your Brussels sprouts it was because she was watching out for you! But, if bacon is enough justification for you, well, then check out this recipe. 😉
