Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan

For our 2nd recipe in our 52 new recipes we tried a new delicious way to eat our veggies.  We eat broccoli with almost every home cooked meal, so we were in desperate need of a mixing up.

Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan



1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets
3-4 tbsp olive oil (I used a garlic EVOO that I had on hand)
Juice from 1/2 lemon or about 1 tbsp
Kosher salt
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss broccoli and minced garlic with olive oil and lemon juice until lightly coated. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat.
Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been rubbed with olive oil or lined with parchment paper.
Roast for 16-20 minutes or until done. You can check with a fork and the outside should be slightly browned.
Put the roasted broccoli back in the bowl and toss with freshly ground black pepper and parmesan cheese. It's ok to be generous with the black pepper. It is delicious!
Serve immediately!

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
