I Love Broccoli

1. Tacos.
2. Broccoli.
3. That one kind of corn.
4. M&M cookies.
Those, my friends, are the best foods in the entire world.

I can eat it blanched and served in a crudités platter, but my favorite dish is garlic broccoli, as it is served in some Chinese restaurants.  I also love the broccoli rabe, and broccoliflower.
 

Yep, I do have an huge love for the green stuff! =p
When I was a kid, I didn't want to try it or nor did I think I would like it. My sister was the same way. But the rule of the house was, eat what's on your plate now or later...

I love broccoli but it doesn't love me back. In fact, it can rather rude if I have too much of it! All things in moderation. Great in pasta primavera.

I love broccoli too, served any way really, but for something special try cranberry/broccoli/stilton quiche.  Make the quiche in the normal way but put a layer of cranberries in the bottom and mix tiny broccoli florets in the stilton...

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable. I love eating raw broccoli with ranch dressing. I also like it cooked. My mom makes it the best when she grills it on the grill. It is sooo good. I also love it roasted in the oven, too. Mmmm :) ...

I surely do love Broccoli.  Broccoli is my favorite vegetable.  I also love Broccoli cream soup.  One word = delicious.  Mmmm

I must share with you the JOY that is OVEN-ROASTED BROCCOLI!
Mix up some olive oil with salt and pepper and a bit of sugar and cumin.  Chop the broc into wedges, dunk the heads in the mixture.  Roast for 25-30 min until brown...

I only like it steamed or raw.
If it is raw any salad dressing will do, maybe even plain.
Steamed I like it with a variety of sauced, Picada, Teriyaki, Asian sweet chili or one of the others I make.

When I was a kid, I wouldn't touch broccoli with a ten thousand foot pole...lol!!  Now, it's one of the only vegetables I will eat with any regularity.....I especially love boccoli with cheese .....preferably Velveeta cheese...

Now, you'll probably think I'm really weird after you read this.
I think I REALLY love broccoli. Every time I eat broccoli, I get so happy! Everything about it; the smell, the taste, the color. Everything about broccoli makes me happy...
