Have you ever tried ...

Brussel Sprouts??? I had never tasted them ... I was never forced to eat them as a kid ... I was never forced to eat anything really ... well, one time when my Grandma Betty wouldn't let me leave the table until I ate all my pea soup. God bless you Grandma Betty, as I love pea soup now. I can hardly wait to see you in Heaven, do you know how much I miss you?

Tonight I made the Brussel Sprouts ... washed them off, sauted them with a little EVOO (ala Rachel Ray ... I love her!) garlic and some S&P. Then I roasted them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes ... and drum roll ........................................................

THEY WERE YUMMY!!! Tasted like cabbage, little crunchier ... but yum-o-rama. They are loaded with folate, Vitamin C and Iron ... which is muy importanto for me; Vegans and vegetarians lag in the iron department. Sooo, yipeeeeeeeee ... found another yummy vegetable. Caloy liked them too, which is always a plus!!!

Thank you Lord for Brussel Sprouts ... for your Divine plan for my life.

o.k. - brussel sprouts were one of those deals that made me gag as a kid..we WERE forced to clean our plates..I would risk punishment by hiding in my napkin OR we had a leaf that hooked underneth the table- which made an excellent hiding place - of course, until that said leaf needed to be used to expand the table..a bounty of vegetables were exposed! But your evoo and garlic almost sounds edible..I shall give it a try! Know that my prayers for your surrender are winging towards the Lord as we speak - and have been since our conversation yesterday. AND G'ma Betty - what a jewel in the crown - I surely miss her as much today as I did 8 years ago..nothing about that changes. So my peach - here's to you and your vegan junk..j/k xoxoMa
