So we wanted to fit one post in this week to help you guys out with Thanksgiving. If you are totally out of side dish ideas for tomorrow we have a really easy and tasty one here for you – Brussels Sprouts with Bacon! You might be thinking “Who ever eats Brussels sprouts?” and you probably have a good reason to think that. However, before this recipe Erica thought she didn’t like Brussels sprouts but changed her mind after her second helping of this dish! Bacon can do magical things. Now hurry up and get to a grocery store before tomorrow!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
