Alice – Absolutely!
Dave – I’m off in search of more broccoli recipes just for you :)!
Martha & Chaya – Carrots and Broccoli are my favorite 2 veggies and there is no such thing as too much! 🙂
I am perfect. I like broccoli and carrots.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I have made too many carrot recipes, recently.
In a few weeks, I will be doing that all over again.
I’m the opposite from Dave – I love broccoli but leave out the carrots in mine. Not that I don’t like carrots, just prefer them plain or in a light glaze.
That is one terrific looking casserole… love the cheese over the broccoli (at the risk of starting another veggie war, cheese broccoli is about the only way I can eat em)
Can I substitute two small eggs for the one jumbo?
