Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cherries and Pistachios
I recently found this recipe on Denise Costello's site The Energized Body.com. Her mission is simple and delicious: "to help you eat your way happy & healthy so you can feel your best, be your best & give your best." And her take on Brussels sprouts, one of my favorite winter vegetables, was too good not to share!
