Is everyone gearing up for, hands down my favorite holiday– Thanksgiving? I know that I am. There is pie crust to be made, bread to tear for stuffing, and a rustic pate to be assembled– and that is just on today’s schedule. Tomorrow the real work begins; but I am hard-pressed to call any of it work. Gathering together with loved ones, and cooking a fantastic meal, hardly seems like work to me.

For the past several years, brussels sprouts have always been the green vegetable of choice for the Thanksgiving meal. They are synonymous with holidays for me– as synonymous as a cruciferous vegetable can be!

I recently started blogging at iVillage Food. There, I will have a weekly column about eating seasonally. So what was one of my first entries? You guessed it, brussels sprouts. If you have yet to decide on the green vegetable to go with all of those glorious starches, there is a recipe on iVillage for Brussels Sprouts Braised in Cream.

So, have a wonderful holiday! Don’t eat anything I wouldn’t eat– which isn’t much! Gobble, gobble!
