For some reason I don’t like how that sounds. But either way, it’s a new beginning. I love new beginnings. Except for me, I like to think of every day as a new beginning. Because let’s face it. Most days we need a fresh start.

I always get questions about brussel sprouts recipes. I guess because there are only so many ways to make brussels, right? Here one way I make them, Brussel Sprouts, red pepper, cilantro, and a few other ingredients. It’s super easy!
