Hi Paula, what a nice way to have broccoli, I used a wee bit splenda to sweeten my fruit was quite sweet and I had it for my lunch, all of it to myself. I was cooking for one and just had this with nothing else. I love broccoli and this was another way I can make it. It's so quick and easy I made all the sauce but just some of the broccoli, I think this would go very well with fish or chicken and really nice with ,I think that's what I will have it with next time. Thank you for posting . Made for Honor Thy Mother the diabetic forum May 2011.Reply
