The holidays are right around the corner. Once December hits, everyone is in holiday mode and that’s when I start blasting that Christmas music in the house without anyone complaining. The holidays are always about gathering with family and friends and I’m always on the lookout for easy side dishes. Main dishes are easy as you can always make a roast of sorts but side dishes take a lot more effort. And, it takes a lot more effort to make side dishes taste and look fabulous.


Recently, one of kids has developed a liking to brussel sprouts and trust me, I am not complaining about this one! What parent doesn’t want their kids to eat more vegetables, am I right? Aside from the typical roasted version, I decided to change it up by adding some pomegranate seeds. It makes the dish look super festive and I have a bottle of pomegranate molasses in the pantry that’s was dying to be used up. They would be fabulous topped with some roasted nuts or almonds as well however I’ve omitted due to allergies.
