If you combine tomatoes with cheese, you make my dh happy. When you add in the broccoli to add some additional nutrition to it, you make me happy to serve it to him. Plus broccoli is one of my youngest two favorite vegetables. Thanks for taking the monotony out of broccoli! (For PAC Spring '07, just forgot to review, oops.)

This was terrific and also looks great with the colors. I didn't have Italian seasoning so I used Good Seasons Italian dressing mix instead and it worked very well. I also only had grape tomatoes and so used those cut in half. Thanks for sharing a great veggie side dish.
