The time has come. You know the one: where you are ready to just get on with things.
After a summer of bursting-fresh heirloom tomatoes, peaches with juices that dribble down your chin, corn so sweet it might be better than candy and discovering summer squash, I am ready for the next phase of vegetable eating.
Bring on the broccoli and the roasted cauliflower. A taste of asparagus? Yes please! And Brussels sprouts … oh, yes!
Are you ready for the turn of season?

Love the sprouts but don't like salami - I'll try without. I'm going to be making lots of butternut and acorn squash recipes, chilis, stews, soups - in these beautiful fall and chilly winter days. If we have enough snow - some of my meetings will get cancelled and I'll have an unexpected day of relaxation and reading. I plan to do more crock-pot cooking this fall.

Well I can't say that I'm quite ready for summer to be over, I do love brussels sprouts. Can't I just have both? These really look delicious. I'll definitely have to give them a try.

That looks so good. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite veggies.
