I went grocery shopping the other day and found some Brussels sprouts! I know.  Why is finding Brussels sprouts so exciting?  I think I've only found them once or twice in the two years that I've lived here and so seeing food that I don't normally see gets me so excited! The other thing that was really exciting was finding some pearl onions right beside the Brussels sprouts.  I absolutely love the flavour of pearl onions and so I thought this would make a great dish when paired together.  I decided to make a quick and easy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon dish that takes less than 10 minutes to make.

If you're short on time or looking for a great appetizer or side for dinner than this is it! I couldn't make a big batch of it because to your disbelief, 12 Brussels sprouts cost about 3$...I still have a few sprouts left as I didn't want to use all of them so I'll figure out something else tomake with them so that they can last me for a
couple of meals.  The first time I made this dish, I remember that I had pre-cooked the bacon and then added the sprouts and onions, but that was a big mistake as the bacon got over cooked.  This time I decided to cook everything all together all at once and it turned out perfect!

I wasn't sure if my boyfriend would like it because he had never eaten Brussels sprouts and he's a pretty picky eater, but he loved this dish! We don't live together so he doesn't usually eat vegetables and doesn't cook so when he comes over, I like to cook delicious healthy meals for him.
