About


I’m always looking for ways to use broccoli. Broccoli is a nutrition powerhouse. With lots of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, selenium and fiber, it’s one of my favorite vegetables. I love it raw, steamed and roasted. It’s also one of those vegetables I can buy in bag bags at the local Costco for just a few dollars.
I loved the orange sauce in this recipe from The Mayo Clinic Williams-Sonoma cookbook. I doubled the sauce so that I would have extra for the brown rice I served on the side.
