Smile I ate broccoli!!

Yay for me I actually cooked broccoli for the first time. I roasted it with grape tomatoes, evoo and garlic. It wasnt bad, i need to experiment with more flavors. This is a pretty big goal for me. Just wanted to pat myself on the back.

Have a great night.

Mary Ellen

Good job! I'm not much of a fan, either. I get a pot with a lid, add a little bit of water in the bottom. Add fresh garlic, s & p, and olive oil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes. It's so good.

Nice! Great job. Experimenting is going to be great for you in the long run. It'll give you more options so you won't get bored w/the same thing, day in, day out.

I cook mine w/a little bit of water for about 5 mins, so they're still pretty crisp when they're done. Then, I add Tostito's Brand Salsa con Queso (cheese w/salsa) over the top. It's spicy & really low calorie. 2 tbls is only 40 cals!

right on, broccoli is so good for you. next time try baking the broccoli until it is tender then sprinkle it with a little olive oil, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese - OMG it's good.

I'll co-sign the broccoli love petition. That stuff rules. Everytime it's cheap or fresh-looking, I'll buy a bunch. For dinner today, I put a whole bunch in the rice and it tasted goooooood. I'm the only one in my family who likes it though, weirdly enough. Can't get enough of it! I also put a little water in the pot, cook it thoroughly (I like mine less crunchy), add a tsp of olive oil, salt and sliced garlic. Holy moly it's good.

You don't like broccoli?! D: Well, I'm glad you liked it this time! I LOVE cooked broccoli (not a fan of it when its raw...) especially with cheese, though cheese is pretty much a no-no, since I can't find a decent-tasting low fat version. >_>

My favorite thing ever used to be those bags of broccoli in a bag that you heat in a microwave. I would put so much cheese on them that if they were alive, they'd drown.
