Who’s excited for Halloween?!? Me…me…me!!
Not for the costumes or foods, just handing out treats to the neighborhood kids that comes ringing the doorbell endlessly all night long on Halloween.
And oh, we haven’t gone to the make-shift pumpkin patch yet.
And I can’t wait to carve a pumpkin this year. Weeeeeee!!! Can you sense my excitement?
Before we know it, Diwali is also just around the corner. My head would explode from all of this excitement!!! Here’s how we celebrated Diwali a few years ago.
Don’t laugh, but we forgot to take photos of then main course. My bad.
I’ll be up in the sky making my way to Chicago by the time this post is published. If you want to know what I’m up to, follow me on Twitter, Facebook & most importantly — Instagram.
Promise to share every bit of the shenanigans. Including mine. For now, I am leaving you with brussels sprout.

I have never had Brussels sprouts but something about the look of this tells me it is my kind of thing. I don’t think we wheat berries in India. Gonna try it with some other combination. 🙂

Dear Kiran,
I love brussels sprouts especially if they are roasted with that smoky flavour. Not much Halloween excitement here in Sydney although I can definitely feel the vibes from reading about what you guys are up to in the US 🙂
Dear Chopin — that is why I love blogging so so much. You get to experience the excitement of celebrations from around the world 🙂
I wish we would celebrate Halloween in Switzerland….
This dish is fabulous. I <3 Brussel sprouts!!!
Cheers,
Rosa
Rosa — get some pumpkins. Decorate your home with it and you would feel Halloween 🙂
We very much enjoy Brussels Sprouts in the autumn. Your recipe is full of hearty fall flavor and healthy wheat berries, a great seasonal recipe!

i love my brussel sprouts but my best friend not so much so I am always looking for ways to jazz them up a bit to get her to like them because I swore to myself I would get her to change her mid on them! Its like my goal! LOL! I think she would love this
Jessica — lol, I hope you get to change her mind on brussel sprouts soon 🙂
Healthy delicious salad. I wasn’t a Brussels sprout lover earlier but once I started experimenting with it, I realized how versatile they are. Scrumptious meal!

oh Kiran some of my favorite ingredients. So happy your paired wheat berry & brussels sprouts. I can imagine the textures and flavors complement each other so well. Another dish I can mark for Thanksgiving! 🙂
Shulie — yay and thanks! Please let me know how it tastes, after Thanksgiving of course 🙂
Brussles sprouts in a new love for me but wheat berries always remind of my grandmother who used to boil them for hours and serve it with brown unprocessed sugar and some pure ghee…but love this combo too, going to try after next ingredient shopping trip.

The key to cook wheat-berries or any tough grain is to soak overnight in some hot water. That makes cooking time a breeze!
Rekha — for some reason, the comment form on your blog is not appearing and there’s no way to comment on your posts. Just to inform you so that you can look into it 🙂
Thanks so much Kiran for letting me know… Problem is rectified now 🙂

I know a lot of people who don’t like brussle sprouts but I love them. Your recipe looks so delicious! We don’t really celebrate Halloween here in Australia which is such a shame! So hence I don’t really feel the excitement. 🙁
