I am sure when you think back to your childhood, one or the other dreaded dish comes to mind. For me one of that dreaded dishes was brussels sprouts. Just thinking about it made me gag with disgust. For some reason my parents, especially my father was a fan and since he more than my Mom is the cook, it was made quite regularly. As a child I was always looking forward to lunch and liked to poke my nose into the kitchen to find out what was being made. When it was a brussels sprouts day, it would literally spoil my entire day. In fact it made me even quite upset, how my father could do this to me and even expect I would eat it. Quite surprisingly my daughter actually likes brussels sprouts and so today it’s another story. By now I even like brussels sprouts if prepared right. Roasted along with sweet potatoes and feta cheese like I used in this recipe for example. It makes a great side dish in the fall or winter time.
