    I love trying new veggies in season. It helps your creative juices flow. You also get to try new dishes and help my bub acquire new tastes. We should always eat local. Eating regional produce helps you get nutrients too. Keep things interesting in food so that kids do not get bored. Your bub may not eat it the first time. However, the curiosity pips and they will definitely eat it a little next time.

    Have patience, after all we all take time to adjust to new things and environment. Kids too work on the same logic. They learn from us, as we learn from them too.

        Thanks Lee. Do try it with air fryer.
        Also, we have left off the extra 's' by choice in the title, the reason for that being as the general public (me included) would search for Brussel sprouts instead of Brussels sprouts 🙂
