We eat a lot of broccoli. It's one of the vegetables that we will all eat. Usually. The kids like it plain. I like it with some flavor.
I also love onions, especially caramelized onions so when I saw this recipe recently, I knew it would be a hit.
I did add some garlic as we are big garlic fans as well. I also skipped the cheese that she originally put on it. Nothing against cheese, it's awesome, we just didn't need it with this.
This was a fantastic dinner and I'll be making it again for sure!

This sounds wonderful. Broccoli was one vegetable that we all agreed on as well. Interesting!

ReplyDeletePS - I used Splenda Brown Sugar in the chicken dish I posted today. It tasted just as good :) Most other recipes featured honey, but I liked this one as it has lemon juice for added sweetneass. Enjoy!
