I hate brussell sprouts…
I seriously hate brussell sprouts. The little green balls of gross ick.
I say that while i am eating them, the are so gross that the make the hairs on my arm tingle.
I keep telling myself that this amazing little bowl of green ick balls is 50 calories, no fat, 3 grams of carbs and 3 grams of protein, and the good thing is they are so gross I am no longer hungry….
Thank you brussell sprouts.

I always liked ‘em, personally… Might be the little bit of salt of touch of spray butter I had on ‘em as a kid. Its been years since I’ve had them though. They’re good for ya, no doubts there. But hey, we all have our foods we hate. I loathe beets and squash, which most of my friends like… Eh, there’s always somethin.

I think it comes from a childhood hatred of them, the prevented many of ice cream cones when I wouldn’t eat them as a child.

My parents made me eat brussel sprouts and I hated them with a passion. I used to tell myself that when I grew up, I’d NEVER EVER eat them. And now as an adult, I’m happy to say I NEVER EVER eat them, LOL. I don’t even make my kids eat them. They bitter and nasty. No amount of salt and butter can cover that up.

I hated them too, but then I made them a different way. I steamed them with orange zest grated all over them. The taste from the orange made them so much better.

I just did a write up on lentils….that’s a great food that you could use to replace brussel sprouts.
