Smoky-Sweet Brussels Sprouts in IP

Smoky-Sweet Brussels Sprouts in IP

While I love oven-roasted Brussels, this is a quick & easy dish, and comes out delicious. It is also perfect for my son who likes to eat Brussels Sprouts if they aren’t crisp (usually works out okay though- I get the crispy roasted bits, and […]

Easy Chicken Curry in IP
