Brussel Sprouts with Sausage & Candied Walnuts
I don’t know about you but I love Brussel Sprouts.
I know they are not something everyone likes…
Here is a way to eat them that kind of dresses them up.
I start by cooking my Brussel sprouts the best way… here is a link to an original post on how I bake them.
Fresh Pan Roasted Brussel Sprouts
They are so great just like this but then I add in cooked sausage and candied walnuts. You can even add in candied cranberries to give it that beautiful kick!
I candied my walnuts and cranberries in butter and about one to two tablespoons of THM Gentle Sweet.
If you don’t have Gentle Sweet you can purchase it here (affiliate link) at the THM Store!
Hope you enjoy this beautiful side dish. It is an S for my Trim Healthy Mama friends.
