Broccoli and Cheese Baked Potato

in Dinner, Sides

For any of you out there who find it difficult to stomach eating vegetables, my husband offers this solution: cover them in cheese. I don’t always agree with this philosophy; I’m actually one of those freaky people that think roasted vegetables are heaven all by themselves, but I have to admit I’ve never turned down anything that was drowning in cheese.

That’s the idea with this potato. First, you make a super rich cheddar cheese sauce.  You can actually just stop here and pour the whole thing in a bowl if you want. Just tell people it’s “cheese soup”. Yeah, that stuff totally exists, probably because some chef wanted an excuse to eat cheese sauce with a spoon. [click to continue…]

Definitely Not Boring Broccoli

in Sides

I am a big fan of broccoli. I really don’t feel that there’s any need to dress it up; to me plain steamed or sautéed broccoli is just delicious. However, when Adam from Amateur Gourmet advertises that he has The Best Broccoli of Your Life, it’s definitely going to pique my interest. I decided one day to make it and then while I was at work I asked Chase what he wanted to have to go with his broccoli. Here is our text message conversation in verbatim

Me: I’m making broccoli for dinner. What else do you want?
Chase: Just broccoli?
Me: I have a recipe for the blog
Chase: Ok. I’m saying it’s just broccoli? That’s it? That’s a boring blog entry. Here’s some broccoli. Mmmmmm. Just steam it or grill it up and there ya go.
(yes, that is a sarcasm you’re detecting in his messaging)
Me: So you think. This broccoli is gonna be amazing.
