  1. I cut the broccoli into flowerettes. Made the sauce in the micro. Lots of sauce. I heated it in the oven to brown top. The leftovers I blended and added a cup of chicken stock to for a comfort soup on these cold days. I did use more cheese then called off. I added 1 cup mozzarella cheese.

I was born and raised in Boston and continue to live here still. I met my hubby in 1986 and we've been together ever since. We have two children and my family is my passion. Pet peeves? Rudeness, laziness, greed, hatred, and bad manners of any kind. And for some reason, I can't stand listening to someone whistle!
