Learning. having fun. Making a mess.

Broccoli

Maybe everyone knows this already but I learned a few things about broccoli this last week.

Broccoli is yucky when overcooked.

Steam broccoli for 5-6 minutes, then serve.

I had always been hit or miss with my family, and myself, eating broccoli. I couldn't figure it out and since I don't really love cooking I just figured it was my lack of skills.

Then Martha filled me in.

Don't overcook.

Serve immediately.

Also broccoli is so full of good stuff that cheese and butter are OK to add in large quantities.

Enjoy, it is broccoli season.
