In what feels like a lifetime ago, Pete and I decided to start a food column on Drugstore Divas. He loved cooking and I loved spending time with him, so it was a great way for us to bond. One of our first posts was a prosciutto and Brussels sprouts recipe.

This recipe is very similar to that, but instead of prosciutto, which is a little unfamiliar to some people, this has bacon, which is way more common.
