Bacon and Brussels sprouts. Anyone? Today’s recipe is one of my favorite dishes to cook. It gives the perfect balance of greasy and healthy elements. I usually prepare this on Friday night’s dinner. It’s kind of a celebratory meal to celebrate the week. I know it’s some kind of a weird tradition but we do it anyway. I serve this with a nice spaghetti and meatball. It’s the perfect food! Try this one. It’s something to look forward to this coming Friday. Enjoy!
