For the month of March, The Buzz is partnering with Recipe for Success and their VegOut initiative! Eat 30 veggies in 30 days and share your experiences with us for a chance to qualify for prizes.

We’ll be sharing recipes featuring recipes throughout the month to help inspire some inspiration. Try our recipes and share your own favorite recipes and photos of your veggies successes. See the details on how to join and buzz about the challenge.

For our first recipe, check out this delicious side dish from The Junior League of Houston's Peace Meals cookbook including Brussels sprouts and prosciutto. It wasn’t that long ago that it seemed like Brussels sprouts were one of the least favorite veggies by popular opinion, but now they seem to be beloved in trendy restaurants and by home chefs alike. They’ll be out of season shortly, so go ahead and try them now. Don’t love prosciutto? Substitute bacon instead.

Or, try chopping Brussels sprouts in half and roasting them in the oven for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees with a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a simple but delicious side dish.

Share with us your favorite Brussels sprouts recipes or what veggie you’re cooking up tonight.
