Brussels Sprouts... for real

Hey there!  So, it's been awhile.  Hey - I never made a resolution that I would blog every day, or apparently even every month.  Anyway, I've done pretty well with my resolutions.  As for eating more vegetables, I have definitely been eating more vegetables and fruit.  I don't think I've even had a frozen meal in 2012.  Woo hoo!!  In May, I completed a half marathon and beat my goal by almost 16 minutes - I was so thrilled!!  As for wifely duties, I've actually been cooking more and some of it actually tastes great (although I still have to stick to recipes, but all in due time).  Cleaning could still use some help though, haha.  :p

I was talking to my Mom today and she mentioned that I should share if I found any good recipes because they get bored with the same stuff (I can be the same way).  Anyway, I thought it would be great to start blogging when I find a great recipe to be able to share with family & friends. 

Tonight, we tried.... get ready for it... BRUSSELS SPROUTS!!!  I remember eating them once when I was growing up and I remember despising them.  Lately, people have been telling me that they love them so it piqued my interest a bit and lo and behold, the husband picked some up today.  He cooked dinner and I can't say I wasn't skeptical at first.  However, I think I am converted!!!

Here is his recipe that he came up with and made.  I thought it was pretty darn delicious!!

PS - Anyone else watching the season finale of the Killing!?!?!?  Pretty crazy!
