Spicy Diabetes

Welcome back to my onlypans everyone!  (I'm so sorry..) Brussels sprouts are amazing. If you say you don't like them, I'm going to argue that you have been cooking them wrong.  Seriously, give this a try, I think you'll like it!  This is one of my super-picky kid's favorite things.  Not just favorite vegetables...favorite things!

I am cooking for two here, so just doubling the recipe I use two eggs, 1 whole pita cut in half, 2 big slices of ham, 2 slices of cheese, etc.  And it fits better in the pan to make two. This would work just as well with sausage if you are a fan of the ...
