If You Don’t Think You Like Brussels Sprouts, This Recipe Will Change Your Mind
If you have tried Brussels sprouts before and didn't really like them, you should give them another shot. Catherine Dowdy, from the UK Cooperative Extension Office in Owensboro, Kentucky joined WBKR-FM's weekly What's Cookin'? segment and served up a delicious adaptation of a recipe from Planeatmove.com.
