I know it’s Toasty Tuesday and this isn’t toast. But it’s now officially the Holiday Season and we have a limited amount of time in which to share all of the millions of recipes that you will need to tackle Thanksgiving and the rest of December’s festivities, so we are off to the races with side dishes!

Apple and Bacon Brussels SproutsAnd Brussels Sprouts it is. I had to share them. They are one of my favorite vegetables when they are cooked well and I have made them many many ways– most recently I fried them up for The Pioneer Woman like THIS! But this is a more classic and really easy preparation which celebrates the sweet flavor of fresh autumn apples and the salty perfection of a little bacon for extra flavor. Apple and Bacon Brussels Sprouts

This is a 15 minute dish- so it is seriously perfect to make things easy on Thanksgiving or even just for a weeknight vegetable dish- I love these with roast chicken and so do my kids. Make them pleeease!!!!
