Why is it that every time I try to do some little redesigns on my blog our internet stops working? As I have said before (probably too many times!) please pardon my dust.
And now the dish du jour…..mmmm brussels sprouts. I really never thought I would EVER say that. Up until about 2 months ago I hadn’t eaten a brussels sprout since I spit it out in my napkin when I was little. But thankfully our From the Farmer delivery changed that. A few weeks this winter we were delivered with a giant stalk of brussels sprouts (Have you seen brussels sprouts in this form? It is pretty cool). So instead of being wasteful I decided to slice them up and roast them as I had seen so many of my food blogger friends do.
Turns out, I made a good decision.
Brussels Sprout and Chicken Sausage Pasta
