I grew up eating frozen brussel sprouts and couldn't stomach them my whole life until I met my husband. He grew up on fresh brussel sprouts that his mom steamed. The key is to not over cook them and add butter, salt and pepper. If they're too overcooked they get bitter and if they're not done enough their no fun to eat!
