More Broccoli Please

No Robert did not try broccoli but Lucas did and LOVED it. I have been thinking that we need to eat more vegetables so I pulled out a cookbook and found some new recipes to try. I figured that Lucas would eat anything with chipotle powder on it, and I was right. Here is the recipe for anyone who wants to try it.

Roasted Broccoli with Cumin-Chipotle Butter
5 tsp unsalted butter
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground chipotle powder
1/4 tsp sugar
1 bunch broccoli (1-11/4 lbs), cut into florets

Preheat oven to 450. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a small skillet over med heat, melt butter. Add salt, cumin, chipotle powder, and sugar; cook 30 seconds. Toss butter mixture with broccoli in a large bowl. Place broccoli on the prepared baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned.

Serves 4



I thought this was a cute picture of Thomas. He does not take a pacifier well but loves to suck on his burp cloths or my shirt. Robert decided at the last minute to jump into the picture, he love being a big brother.

As a side note, we did not have any damage from the flooding this weekend but our neighborhood streets were flooded pretty bad. Two retention ponds in the front division actually flooded into one large pond for a couple of days. Columbus, where Lucas works, has been hit bad. A few of the Cummins buildings were flooded. Please keep the families in this area in your prayers.
