This is a really great and easy recipe. I don't like broccoli but was trying to find a recipe that would make it more appealing as I wanted all the nutrients that it contains. This is it. Fast, easy and very good.
I love Melissa's recipes - she makes the type food that I like to eat.

This is really good! Now I have 2 ways to fix broccoli - this way or steam with lemon pepper. I must say that Melissa has a lot of very tasty recipes! I'm going to try some more of them. Thanks Melissa :
