Mashed Potatoes with Blue Cheese Recipe

Brussel Sprouts

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

In this recipe video, I show you how to make pan roasted brussel sprouts…and man are they good. Now, I was the guy that hated brussel sprouts growing up and for a long time as an adult too. Primarily because the ones I had, were over cooked, flabby and acrid tasting. But they don’t have to be...
