Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

Are you looking for new and exciting vegetable side dishes? Who isn’t!

The post-op bariatric surgery diet is all about protein and veggies. I admit protein is easier for me to keep exciting and new by using new marinades, spices, rubs, slow cooker meals and more. Vegetables, on the other hand, are usually green beans, carrots, side salads…just about every week.

I usually don’t mind. I don’t grow tired of my traditional vegetables. But every now and again I hit a wall and start looking for a change! (I know a lot of you just plain don’t like vegetables and are trying find something new to try in hopes you’ll like something! And good for you…keep trying!)

Here is a simple, 3 ingredient recipe for a new way to try Brussels Sprouts. I loved them. I had the leftovers cold as a little snack the next day! *Confessions of a maternity leave Mom*
