Brussels Sprouts & Bacon!

I’m no quitter!!!

I just can’t get anyone in my family to like brussels sprouts. My husband ate them growing up and he has it in his head that he hates them. My daughter keeps trying, and my son, well – no way! I guess that means more for me!

I have prepared brussels sprouts in quite a few ways — these shaved sprouts with bacon are my favorite so far. This is a healthy side I will be taking along to Thanksgiving dinner – maybe with the bacon, my baby brussels will get some attention! You can use turkey bacon or real bacon. I went with real bacon for the added flavor and also as a selling point to my family. They really love bacon.
