Brussel Sprouts???? Really????

Growing up I absolutely HATED Brussel sprouts.  I was forced to eat them every time they were served for dinner.  It is one of the few things that my mom cooked that I absolutely hated but she just used frozen Brussel sprouts and boiled them.  YUCK!  Once I was grown and able to fix food myself they were something that I swore I would never eat again.  Well, with going vegetarian I am looking for new things to fix because just eating salad and the same old broccoli and cauliflower all the time gets boring.  I started looking for different recipes and kept coming across ones for Brussel sprouts.  I actually made a slaw out of them from a recipe I found but that is not what I am going to post today.  I tried this recipe the other night and we all loved it, I found the basic recipe online but of course I have to tweak things to make it my own!
