Madame Vegetable
Emma and I were at the grocery store not long ago, when she saw these little lettuce things and thought they were so cute. Because they are so cute, they must be good, so she begged me to get her some brussel sprouts! I have never made them before, but said ok. I thought I would steam them or something since I think that’s what you are supposed to do with them. I only got a total of four because I was sure she wouldn’t like them. After several days she didn’t want to wait another second to try them so she got out the ranch dressing and ate all four of them raw, and loved it! She has always been more of a fruit and vegetable person, especially compared to Hunter the candy addict, but I was shocked. She was hopping around telling me how much she liked them, and then went crazy again a couple of days ago when we had corn on the cob, another of her favorites. I’ll have to take a hint from her and get into buying more produce again, I have been doing more canned things lately because it’s easy and it keeps longer. Good job Emma!
Funny thing, my kids LOVE salad, and I have no idea how they got started on that one. But they also LOVE Ranch so maybe that’s why. The reigning favorite veggie (besides salad)for all of them is broccoli, raw or steamed, and the all time least fave is green beans. Ciel and Haven are the pickiest, but they’re not too bad. Way to go Emma! Brussel Sprouts are Pappy’s favorite!
Brussel sprouts are my favorite vegetable. I think they are best fresh but frozen will do in a pinch. Good call Emma!
My kids are all fruit and vege fans. How it happened I will never know but I am really glad. Halston loves brussel sprouts also. He calls the salad things. I dont buy fresh produce as much as I would like I am so bad at keeping on top of when they are bad.
GOOD JOB EMMA! I just might have to get some fresh ones for Halston. I think he has only had frozen.
Emma is a girl after my own heart…not because I love brussel sprouts…have I ever had brussel sprouts?…but because I love to eat!!
