Chili-Lime Brussel Sprouts

Recently I have fallen in love with brussel sprouts. Usually I just buy a bag from Trader Joe's and through them in with some other standard veggies and roast them till yummy. But the other day I was walking through Ralph's and saw the most amazing thing. They had brussel sprout stalks. If you do not know what this is, it resembles the stalk of a broccli, three times the size and covered in brussel sprouts. Pure Love, and...it was on sale, so I HAD to buy it. When I got home I realized there was a lot of brussel sprouts in my frig so I have make them taste really good. I saw the limes, and I love spice and bam, it hit me...Chili-Lime Brussel Sprouts. Now this recipe can easily be adjusted to cater your tastes. Just enjoy!
