CategoryTags, , DifficultyBeginner

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, partly because of the yummy veggies that are available in the grocery store. Brussel sprouts and kale are two of the best veggies to eat this time of year, offering tons of nutrients and packed with fiber. Add a little bacon and pecorino cheese and whalla - you've got a delicious side dish to pair with just about any protein.
