Afraid of Brussels Sprouts?

Afraid of Brussels Sprouts?

DONT BE!

I know we all have this deep connotation that Brussel Sprouts are bitter, stinky and gross. Something we all have had in the back of our minds since childhood. But that just isn't the case! When cooked right, they are wonderful! They are also LOADED with vitamin A, folacin, potassium, calcium. They have 3-5 grams of fiber per cup, and at 25 calories per 1/2 cup cooked, they give us a reason to eat them more often. Brussels sprouts are one of those foods that will fill you up, without filling you out. 

They are fabulous!

Brussels sprouts are also seriously rich in vitamin C, another anti-cancer agent. One thing is certain: You will be getting a good-for-the-body food that is high in protein and low in fat and calories. With that, I will leave you with the amazingly simple delicious recipe for:
