Sprouts are great stir fried.  Also, everyone here loves veggie burritos, so 
I toss together the sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, or . . ., some 
red onion, grab a clove or two of garlic hanging from the ceiling (minced) 
and quickly saute.  Turn off the flame, lay on some Sonoma Jack or Humboldt 
Goat cheese put on the lid while I heat up the tortillas and then fill.

NO ONE has ever complained about the Brussel Sprouts and usually ask for 
more.

They're also great tossed in just before some cubed up bacon is done cooking 
along with some onions.  A whole mess of them, a chunk of cornbread, some 
greens and tomatoes from the garden with a little EVOO and Balsamic vinegar 
and everyone is happy.
