Brussels Sprouts with Honey Vinaigrette

Are you ready for Thanksgiving yet?  I have to admit I feel a bit behind this year. I have been busy the last few months and November crept up on me. Plus Thanksgiving is extremely early this year.  And if you are anything like me, lists have already started for the next big holiday.  Christmas is looming. Don't fret though. Here is a simple twist on the classic roasted Brussels sprouts recipe that can be added to any Thanksgiving menu.

We are rather new lovers of Brussels sprouts. We only started eating them about 2 years ago.  We are fast and furious fans now and during the colder months they make an appearance at the dinner table at least once a week.

Mr. J however has recently come to the conclusion that simply roasted Brussels sprouts are a bit too bitter for his liking.  The other day when I was preparing them he did a little hunting for a recipe that would be more to his liking.

Adding the vinaigrette below as a quick and sweet twist to this vegetable side was more than enough to please Mr. J.  It was super easy to make at the last minute and the best part is you toss once the Brussels sprouts are done.  Thus, I can have mine plain and he can have his sweetened.
