Preparing lunch, that daily activity that we stay at home moms partake in, can get so routine that we moms barely notice having to stop what we are doing to make it. Am I right? No? (I didn’t think so)
I like to make broccoli for lunch. Lately I have been steaming it whole in a tall 8-quart stockpot. It seems easier to do it that way and probably because it is easier to cut after it is cooked versus before it is cooked. Additionally, you can entertain your family by showing them a steamed broccoli tree.
My daughter was entertained and she even helped prepare the rest of the lunch menu which was sharp cheddar cheese, tangerines, and an apple.
That’s all folks, I just wanted to show you the steamed broccoli tree.
You are a nut! And I am easily entertained! Cool tree! 😆
😆 That is great!! I’m glad that you all had a good time with your lunch.
Is that standing up all by itself? Maybe my kids would eat it if I could make it stand up like that? 😆
It’s standing there all by itself and it stayed there until I took it down to eat. Pretty nifty! I guess all of those years of playing with action figures with my son paid off. 😉
😆 I don’t steam mine whole, I always cut it up. I like your idea better.
Only you, Donna. Only you.
😆 Really!! I think that picture would make a great one of those “name this picture contests”
That is so cool! 😀 You could make flowers out of thinly sliced carrots(just roll them up into a rose shape) and attach them to your Broccotree
Too Fun…do you think it will make my dh LIKE to eat his broccoli in front of his ever observant children? It might be worth a try for something new. I haven’t been to your site lately (fall planning and your website & I were TIGHT) and I love the new look.
😆 BuffaloRock, I just don’t know. My husband doesn’t like broccoli and I don’t think he ever will. A bright note is that both of my kids like broccoli (rather as they got older, they did).
