Answer 2

Broccoli is pretty versatile. Instead of boiling it in water over high heat like dear old mom used to, try putting it in a steamer basket and steaming it until its just tender and not yet turning that dark putrid-looking green color.

Remove it from heat and melt a little velveeta cheese over it. and its wonderful on its own.

There's a delicious casserole you can make with chopped broccoli. You need 2 cups rice, 1 cup chopped, steamed broccoli, a can of cream of chicken soup, and a small bottle of cheese whiz. Mix this all together and bake it until it is crusty and melty. We serve this dish at holidays, but its good any time you need a veggie side dish.

Answer 3

Broccoli Pasta Salad
Boil noodles of your choice.
While noodles are boiling chop up the broccoli.
Add the broccoli to the noodles.
When the noodles are done, drain all in a colander.
Mix noodles and broccoli with a little italian dressing (just enough to lightly coat) and parmesan cheese.
The carbs will give you energy when you need it and the broccoli will meet your veggie requirement.

Answer 5

I have two ways...

Steam it, but use a vinagrette, like balsamic, red wine or rice mixed in with the water and a bit of sea salt. Crumble feta cheese (or any kind of cheese) over it. Add some cold carrot shreds to the top to sweeten the tarter taste.

Second, try it as a salad. Mix a dressing with mayonnaise, cream and sugar with broccoli, add bacon crumbles, cheddar cheese, sunflower seeds and/or raisins. I love this salad in the summer.
