Ok, so you might be laughing now. Brussel spouts? You say. Yes. My kids actually love brussel sprouts. They are a delicious and very nutritious food that the whole family can love. How do you make brussel sprouts delcious? Here are some ideas. Similar to tofu, brussel spouts take on a lot of the taste of what they are placed in. So, I often make them with soy sauce. Put the brussel sprouts in a skillet and cook them in soy sauce - you don't need any oil or anything else - just soy sauce. They end up soaking in the flavor of the soy sauce and being delicious. You can also saute them with mushrooms, onions and butter or margarine. Also delicious.
Other ideas for brussel spouts are in the oven. Bake brussel sprouts with a little margarine and then put them over baked potatoes for dinner. Delicious and crunchy. There are many ways to use your favorite vegetables, or to discover new ones that can become your favorite. It just takes a little bit of creativity and some experimentation and you can be eating healthy, great vegetables every day of the week!
One extra tip - it's very important for your kids to think that everything is delicious. If you tell them from a young age that brussel sprouts and tofu and everything else are delicious, then they will try these things. They may not end up liking them - but the more things they try, the more of a chance they give themselves. And this can make the difference.
