Every year, individuals everywhere create New Year’s resolutions they hope to keep. Most of them are broken within weeks while one or two may last as long as a few months....
Great way to serve brocolli. I add a bit of lemon juice, smidge of seasame oil (tastes more like Asian brocolli than Italian). Cook/steam the brocolli in a few tablespoons of water in a pot with a tight fitting lid instead of boiling. No more than 5 minutes in my opinion or it's overdone.
