Best Brussel Sprouts Ever (10 mins + $1.05)

I love cooking.

It’s an artistic form of expression that requires all of your senses and some serious critical thinking and timing skills.

I started cooking October of 2016. All of my friends that have tried my food always tell me..

“this is the best food I’ve ever had in my life.”

….most times.

I went from someone who has literally never cooked before in his entire life to a forever learning cooking machine.

I continuously improve my skills and I know that cooking is a lifetime skill.

Next month I may even say —

“Remember my cooking last month? Man I sucked back then.”

I am a permanent beta cook. Always learning, always adapting.

I highly recommend the book The 4-Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss.

This is my first cooking piece on Medium. I’ll give this a shot and hopefully teach you a few things as well as learn from some of you as well.

I try to focus my cooking efforts into three categories.

1. Best Wholesome Ingredients
2. Affordable Pricing
3. Least amount of time possible

That’s enough preamble. Let’s get cooking.
