Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole
On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days. Here is recipe 31: Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole!
I know that when eating veggies, it is best to not smother them in fattening toppings and sauces. But this one is too good to pass up…..and, my toddlers loved it. They get all the vitamins and minerals and a little fat to help their bodies absorb that good stuff. And I get a tasty side dish.
I found this recipe on the McCormick website. They have some great suggestions if you are looking to mix up your recipes a bit.
