Purple Brussels Sprouts, Anyone?

What can I say...I'm a sucker for colorful vegetables! 

These beauties were in the produce department, sitting right beside their green counterpart, same price...get in my basket!

Everything about purple Brussels sprouts is pretty: their color, the design inside when the brown end is cut off, the design inside when cut in half. 






In my tastebuds' lifetime, Brussels sprouts have gone from YUCK to yum. This transition has been fairly recent, maybe 3-4 years ago, but as they say...good things come to those who wait. Add a splash of purple and let the fun really begin!

"We kids feared many things in those days 
- werewolves, dentists, North Koreans, Sunday School - 
but they all paled in comparison with Brussels sprouts."
