I seem to have a lot of broccoli stocked up, and am trying to come up with food ideas that aren't just broccoli as a side. Otherwise I can see my family becoming sick of broccoli really fast.

So any suggestions? (besides chicken & broccoli, rice and broccoli, steak and broccoli etc LOL) Trying to mix up the flavor a bit. Like is there such things a broccoli casserole? or maybe like a broccoli spaghetti sauce or something. haha

Thanks :flowerforyou:

    Our favorite is a ginger beef and broccoli recipe, except we omit the beef and use asian mushrooms, onions, garlic, ginger and a LOT of broccoli. The mushrooms make up for the beef and way less fat, more fiber! A little brown rice with it and you have a real treat that is super healthy and good leftover for lunch!!!

    My personal fave is to put it in stirfry. I cook up pieces of chicken breast in a pan with some honey and garlic added for a yummy flavour, then load on the veggies. you can add some rice too if you are in need of some carbs.

    I microwaved some broccoli with a wedge of laughing cow cheese, and chicken, but you can do it plain or with whatever. The cheese needed some mashing and mixing, but it was really tasty. They make flavored cheese, but I just used plain...I bet the chipotle or french onion would be great.

    cream of broccoli soup!
    You can make that low fat if you use skim milk powder...it makes it creamier, but no added fat!

    Stir fry with meat and other veggies (if you want) with olive oil and teriyaki sauce. Serve over rice. The more veggies you put with it...the lower cals it is and it's really yummy!

    I'm trying to mix up the sauces I put on my steamed broccoli/caulifower combo. Have so far tried ABC sauce (kecap manis), hoi sin, sweet chilli, oyster. They're all a bit high in sodium, but you don't need much!

    Paula Deen has an awesome recipe for a cold broccoli salad. It's broccoli, bacon, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and raisins tossed in a mayo/white vinegar dressing. It is the most delcious broccoli salad you will ever eat! I drastically modify the dressing though to make it much healthier...
