    Yuck. I can't eat the stuff (I have issues with most veggies) unless it's smothered in butter AND cheese, which is pretty much why I never eat it. Can't help it, it stinks like *kitten*. I can't imagine it tasting any better.

    Bump for the ideas though, I said the same thing about Brussels sprouts and I managed to eat some a few weeks ago and didn't die, so maybe all hope isn't lost for me and broccoli consumption.

    Think about it girl! It's really the cheese that sticks like *kitten*!!! Did you ever smell a packet of Kraft Dinner cheese! Holy moly raunchy!!!

    Get some real shredded cheese and honestly just put a little bit on there and they taste fine.

    1. Broccoli

    If you steam broccoli, you benefit from its cholesterol-lowering benefits. Add olive oil, lemon and a dash of salt and pepper to spice up your steamed broccoli. When you eat broccoli raw, it helps to detoxify your digestive tract. For a low calorie dip with your raw broccoli, blend low fat yogurt, chives, paprika and fresh garlic.

    I steam my broccoli (with salt and pepper sprinkled in the pan) which I personally find is much more appealing than boiling it, and then toss in a little parmesan cheese when it's done.

    Simple and tasty.

    So this is what I did - I didn't take anybodies advice. LOL. No offence. I decided to make a broccoli salad and thought I should share:

    2 cups broccoli florets
    1/2 light mayo
    1/2 cup red pepper
    3/4 cup red onion
    1 stalk celery
    2 tsp splenda
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp pepper
    1 TBsp vinegar

    Mix and chill and serve!

    Newman's Own Sesame ginger salad dressing.

    Light and tangy, add some red pepper flakes if you want a kick.

    I add lemon pepper right when it comes out of the steamer (or steamer bag).

    Japanese shoyu (soy sauce). It's salty, btw, and a little goes a long way.

    fresh dill works really well, as does rosemary

    try a few fresh herb pairings...just toss it with the broccoli and wrap it in parchment paper. roast in the oven for several minutes. fanTASTic!
