Brussels Sprout, Grape, and Feta Pizza

I’m a mom but let’s pretend that I’m not for one second.  Just humor me.

Let’s pretend that I don’t walk around everyday with at least one form of food stuck to my shirt from something spilled, thrown, or wiped on me.  Let’s pretend that these dark circles under my eyes are from partying all night instead of staying up with a sick kid.  Let’s pretend…just for a second…that the reason I haven’t showered in two days is because the plumbing in my shower is broken.

Now I wouldn’t trade my kids for all the tea in China {I don’t even drink tea but you get the idea} but there are times when Mommy needs a timeout.  This was my timeout the other day.

Since I’m the only person in my family who is a fan of brussels sprouts this was MY food.  I didn’t have to revert back to elementary school and pre-lick it so no one else would touch it.  Just adding brussels sprouts will do it.  Which reminds me, I need to buy some more.

I don’t understand people not liking brussels sprouts.  Except for the fact that I have to remind myself how to spell it and spell check always underlines it because it’s not capitalized I don’t see the problem.

If you are like so many people who don’t like them just give this pizza a shot.  There is only one per pizza and that hardly even counts.
