EDIT: fixed link

Great tips,thank you!!!

This sounds GOOD - really good.

Recipe in a nutshell:

Raw broccoli, washed and cut into small pieces
Shredded carrots
Chopped Red Onion, fine.
Uncured bacon, cooked and cut into small pieces
Dried Cranberries and/or Golden Raisin Berry mix from Trader Joe's
Roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds
Apple Cider Vinegar
Low Fat Mayo
Freshly cracked black pepper
Scant sugar (optional)

Mix all together, I create the dressing first to taste, some people prefer sugar or not, dressing is similar to a cole slaw type dressing.

I was! But im not going to bother with resizing right now. Thanks for the information!! :)

And I love it.

And the illegal aliens picking your broccoli excrete ecoli urine on it.

Ah...the circle of life..

this, with butter

Great source of chromium as well. I believe it also has some type of chemical that helps people with hyperthyroidism. Either it helps or it helps regulate the thyroid.

More benzene concentrated in the water system!

Yup.

Will be my lunch tomorrow

steamed organic grown broccoli with cheddar cheese sauce

yummy!!!!!

22 broccoli plants in my garden doing "oh so well"!

no toxic shit needs to enter the picture here

Growing your own sprouts is easy. it just takes seeds (buy organic if you can) a glass jar, cheese cloth or gauze, water (Filtered) sunlight and a couple of days time.

You soak the seeds in the water, then drain it with the cheese cloth/ gauze covering the jar opening. Rinse the seeds daily and watch them sprout for the next coupe of days. Then let them green up in the sun for a day or two.

you'll be amazed at how much flavor can come from a little sprout!

Oh and if you tend them well, they will produce side shoots (mini heads)all the way until a heavy frost!

Last year I froze over 35 one gallon bags of blanched broccoli off of 19 plants

Yea steamed and then put a dab of butter on it and let it melt in, and a pinch of Himalayan Salt.

Thanks for sharing this, sounds delicious!

It's good also using a nutri-bullet to liquefy into tasty smoothies along with other fruits and veggies. I use mine everyday!

OOps left out red onions chopped finely. Big ingredient.

Love broccoli.
Get mine from Schwans.The micro steam bags make it so easy to fix.Just heat and heat but I usually put cheese over mine.Like it on baked potatoes too.
Probably wouldnt eat as much if it wasnt already in the steam bag and so easy.

My two Rat Terriers, love broccoli, carrots, and sweet potatoes.

When clicking on this thread I thought it was about michelle obama :salad1:

I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow now...

One thing the Chinese do very well is not overcooking veggies.

In a wok, pour in a couple tablespoons of peanut oil.

Have your thinly sliced chicken breast ready and when the oil in just starting to smoke, reduce heat to half and toss in chicken.

When chicken is almost done, throw in two big handfuls of fresh broccoli and your seasonings, like hot sauce, red pepper flakes, MSG, whatever you like, and stir and serve...don't let the broccoli cook for very long, you only want the toughness out of it.

I hate rice, but some people ruin this dish by serving it over rice. enjoy!

Eating to much broccoli can give you kidney stones. Be careful.

That's what I do. I planted 36 of them this year, then picked'm and blanched them and froze them. Puts store bought to shame.

THANK YOU! will visit my butcher tomorrow for the bacon. I saw the addition about the red onion - thanks again.
