Since becoming a Mom I have had to get pretty creative with my cooking at times, especially when my two little munchkins decide they detest any and all veggies.
Broccoli is my favorite and the girls usually like it so I use it a lot.
Sometimes I serve it as a side dish, steamed or roasted, and sometimes as the star of the meal like my Cheesy Broccoli Casserole or Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry.
Today I have put together a collection of my favorite recipes showcasing Broccoli. I know you {and your little munchkins} are going to love them all!

One dish Crock-pot meals are my go to on busy weekdays and this Beef and Broccoli Crock-Pot meal is quickly becoming a family favorite, especially with my daughter. Serve over rice or noodles.
