Yummy Ideas!

Hi! It's Rebecca Howard. Here's how I used some of the produce in my basket...

How I used my Broccoli:

1. Cut off the florets and put them into a microwaveable container (I use a gallon sized ziploc)
2. Put a couple pads of butter in
3. Sprinkle with salt, garlic, and other seasonings you like (I even put a little brown sugar in last time, and it was like candy for my kids!)
4. Microwave for 2-3 minutes
5. ENJOY! So yummy!

How I used my Cauliflower:

I've never liked cauliflower, but this was so delicious I was sad when it was gone. My kids gobbled it up, too. ONLY STEAM THE CAULIFLOWER FOR 8 MINUTES OR SO! I'm not sure why it says 30, but that would turn it into paste! We melted the butter with the mayo and mustard and coated the cauliflower with that, then sprinkled grated parm. cheese over the top. Also, you only have to bake it for about 15 minutes, then broil on low until the cheese is golden brown.

How I used my Zucchini:

I made muffins instead of bread, and they made an excellent breakfast. Instead of the oil, I made them with white bean paste, so they were pretty much fat free! I also used whole wheat flour. You can also substitute raisins or craisins for the chocolate chips. If making muffins, only bake for about 20 minutes.
