    Please give all your broccoli to me then!! :)

    Try putting some 0 calorie spray butter on it after you steam it, then some salt & pepper, as well as a sprinkle of parmesan cheese... so good!

    Ohhhh I LOVE broccoli. But I have very odd tastes... Have you tried them pickled? It sounds weird, but it completely alters the taste.

    Oven roast at high heat (400-425) with a little olive oil, garlic, and a touch of lemon. I love it, but it is an acquired taste.

    I love roasted broccoli with parmesan, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder and lots of pepper. It tastes like it is something I shouldn't be eating it's so good!

    I had a broccoli and cheese omelette this morning and had steamed broccoli with butter at dinner :) Broccoli is my favorite food!

    Brocolli is good, now brussel sprouts however are a whole nother story:bigsmile:

    Agreed! To quote Phoebe from Friends, "This must be what evil tastes like!"

    1 can coconut milk
    1 can chicken broth
    1 head broccoli
    some chicken
    0.5 lime juice

    Cook to boil, then slow simmer until chicken is soft (if it is on bone, falls off bone)
    You can serve over your fave grain, or over some lettuce if want a low carb option.

    The biggest thing about brocolli is if you use frozen or over cooked it will be mushy and tasteless. I try to use fresh and steam it. Microwave is another way to ruin brocolli. Saute it with a little sesame oil is also very good.

    I disagree! I usually prepare mine in the microwave. The trick is like you said...don't overcook it. AND I usually use frozen florets. :tongue: I pour some in a bowl, add a dab of butter, some salt, and some garlic powder, then nuke it for a bit. I love it! My mom always got that boxed frozen broccoli and cooked the crap out of it. It tasted as bad as it smelled. I was 23 before I realized I liked broccoli. Whatever floats your boat! (Oh, and we steam our broc in the microwave at work...this was the first that I ever tried and liked!) I'm off to make a big bowl of little trees now :bigsmile:

    Haha I hate broccoli too. Well, I dislike it, I guess. I love almost every other vegetable (especially spinach and peppers) but I jus don't really care for broccoli.

    However...on occasion when I make it as a side to a dish I am making my family, I make sure that the other things on my plate are extra yummy, and I tell myself that I can eat the other things only AFTER my broccoli is finished. Seriously! The other night, I made steak and mashed garlic sweet potatoes *drool* and I made myself eat all my broccoli before anything else. So, in other words, I parent myself :P
