Recipe Box, Broccoli Recipe Round-up

the Painted Apron

5 years ago

Even though I LOVE vegetables, Broccoli has always been one of my least favorites

I chose it for last January’s Flavor of the Month because I wanted to find different ways of using it,

so I rounded up all the recipes I have made and loved with broccoli

Some of the recipes are healthier than others, but they all are a delicious way to get more healthy broccoli into your diet!

This Nutty Broccoli & Fruit Salad was a big hit in my house, so fresh and healthy, easy to prepare and leftovers were good the next day

I think everyone one likes a good Cheesy Broccoli Casserole,

and this one is made and baked all in the same dish, no clean up required!

My all time favorite way to eat Broccoli is roasted with Parmesan and garlic

I call it Broccoli Candy, because you will find yourself and anyone else nearby popping it in your mouth before it ever gets on plates!

HHjr & I almost polished off a whole sheet pan full before we ever finished setting out the rest of the food!

Here are my other favorites:
