Easy and flavorful sautéed Brussels Sprout and Brown Rice Salad that makes the perfect side dish loaded with garlic, bright lemon flavor and crunchy walnuts!

This recipe is my take on brussels sprouts, but make it a salad! This dish is garlicky, lemony and the warm fluffy rice tastes amazing with the tender brussels sprout leaves and crunchy walnuts. I am well aware that not everyone is a fan of brussels sprouts (haters where are you??), but I actually find this dish to be a little more palatable for those who don’t really love brussels when the leaves are separated

Christina – who now has a five-year-old son – thought her symptoms were caused by stress after she landed a promotion at her job at a commercial

Violin10/01/2023 73 Views

The secret to living a longer and healthier life? At least part of the answer could actually be pretty simple: water.
