The fall season is almost here and that means it’s time to plan your holiday meals!
In my family, we love potluck style food like casseroles and hearty side dishes. I made this Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Maple Glazed Pecans and Bacon for last Thanksgiving and I love how it turned out. The sprouts were crunchy and tender, the bacon was salty, the syrup added a delicious sweetness, and the pecans gave it the perfect hint of nuttiness. all in all, you will be thankful for this tasty dish is part of your Thanksgiving meal!

    I love to cook and this is one of the best recipes I’ve ever made. I made half the recipe since I only needed two servings. I will definitely be making it again.

    Made this for dinner tonight and it turned out amazing! Brussel sprouts are not my favorite veggie – but with bacon and maple syrup – I loved them! We will be making this again soon.
