brussel balls


When I was a young girl, my mom would boil these and serve them and I would THROW UP everytime. I hated these green vegies.... I have not had one of these in my mouth for YEARS...
Fast forward 35 years later and I thought "why not" let's give them a chance.
Last night I cut them and drizzled olive oil on them, added some kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, and threw them on the grill with my chicken. At the last second I added a dash of teriyaki sauce...cooked till soft-er and viola...GOOD BRUSSEL BALLS!!!! I can't believe how good they were! I am seriously hoping they are extra healthy, since I went to all the trouble of making them after all these years. I honestly struggled with the first bite "will I throw up" filled my mind... they were delicious.
btw: I know they are called brussel sprouts, when we were young we called them brussel balls.
