What a treat to be in Naomi’s kitchen when she is cooking! I stood by the stove when she took the broccoli from the oven! And I ate. And ate. I had to ask, are you saving this for something? Well, she did want to take photos for Life Delicious! But this is so good it couldn’t wait for mealtime! My guests who are coming next week are definitely going to sample this dish!
It’s such a fun day when you are in the kitchen with me just hanging out as I cook. And it was a blast to have you with me as I did a photo shoot as well. I will always have that memory! 🙂
This broccoli side is so easy and delicious! Your guests will definitely love it!
