The Bullshit

I’m really trying to eat more vegetables, and since people keep raving about fennel (maybe i need to listen to new people), I wanted to give it a shot. I had some brussels sprouts on hand, as one does, and decided to just slice it all up thin and roast it together.

Turns out, its a really good veggie combination. Even my kids like it. Do your kids eat brussels sprouts and fennel? They might if you try.

Super basic recipe. Super basic bullshit.
