Citrus-Bacon Brussels Sprouts

Although a great source of vitamins C and K, Brussels sprouts are usually a love ’em or leave ’em vegetable. But this recipe will make giving this vegetable one more chance worth your while. This dish pairs nicely with a roasted potato and Cornish hen meal—and a crisp glass of chardonnay, of course.
