My idea of comfort food because I love broccoli. I’m sure the kids would disagree.
I actually like broccoli. It is one of the veggies I really eat. (So picky since I like veggies raw.) but with the cheese here it is so delicious! Enjoy, Mary.
Looks delish! Going to have to try this one! Thank you for all of the yummy recipes!
Thanks for linking up @LiveLifeWell!
Blessings,
Amy
