So, after the parsnip request, I asked my 7 year old if there was some other food he wanted to try. He said brussel sprouts. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical having never been a fan, but holding to my 'try anything once' philosophy, I had to say let's try it.
I've had brussel sprouts I liked before, but they were prepared by a trained chef in a nice restaurant. So, this was all pretty new to me. I asked around and decided to pan fry them in butter with a little salt and pepper. They turned out pretty good, I think, and I enjoyed them very much. My little guy, though, tolerated them mostly because he asked for them and he wanted to get desert (something you only get if you finish your veggies). He said he didn't want to eat them again. I'm cool with that, and honestly, I'm just happy to see him branching out and trying new things willingly. Who knows what he'll want to try next.
