    So easy!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had brussels sprouts once before, about 18 years ago. After seeing this episode I have made them twice in a week and a... half, and will continue to make this a staple. I have a 3 month old son and it is so easy to prepare and cook the sprouts in between taking care of him, and it's a nutritious snack or lunch addition for me. Delicious!Read more

    Simple yet great!

    I have been eating brussels sprouts for as long as I can remember. However, I had always had frozen ones. I saw some fresh... ones on sale at the grocery store and decided to buy them instead. Then I wasn't sure how to cook them and searched Food Network's website for recipes. I decided to use this one and I'm glad I did. Both of my teenage daughters like brussels sprouts and now the youngest only wants to eat them prepared like this. Read more

    I have always "almost" liked Brussel Sprouts but they seemed smushy and a bit bitter. Not with this cooking method. I love... them I have eaten a wheelbarrel load of those things over the past few months.Read more
