"Because of Domenica, my 6 year-old son recently asked, ‘Mommy, can we have Brussels sprouts for breakfast lunch and dinner?’  I never thought my youngest child would ask for a nutritious vegetable, but her recipe is delicious and I feel like a ‘super-mom’ now that he is eating and requesting them all the time. Thank you, Domenica!"
