When thinking about what appetizer to serve, most cooks don’t consider using cabbage and even less think about Brussels sprouts! As a kid, you would NEVER hear me say, “oh yes please, may I have more!” I disliked them for years. It wasn’t until I was and at my great aunt’s home when she served…

I have to admit I first used kale last year. I guess I’m a bit late on the kale bandwagon. The “queen of greens” has been gaining in popularity for a few years.

My husband and I enjoy roasted vegetables and this recipe is chock-full of nutrients.
