So! Now I have nothing to say. sigh…
But, some say silence is golden.
That’s why silence and I have never met! I’m always yapping.
I could try to tell you about how much this stir fry rocks! But you can look at it and say, “ewwww, that cabbage smelling thing? Get away from me now!”. And I can come back at you and say “just try it, woman! It’s freakin’ awesome! AND good for you!”.
FYI: Brussels sprouts are rich in many awesome nutrients including, protein, iron and potassium.
I would also argue that they are the most delicious green veg on the planet.
Just look at this little shaved sprouts and cranberries mess. Just look at it… it’s how we shall love it.
You need to make and eat this faster than you can say, “I don’t like brussels sprouts”, while making that pouty face and crossing your arms at your chest as you did when you were 5!
P.S. I think I might just have taken care of one of your Holiday side dishes. YOU’RE WELCOME! My pleasure! Always!
