I threw this together for lunch today, it was delicious. Thought others might like it, too.

Broccoli Wrap
Flour tortilla
1/4 C - 1/2 C steamed broccoli, diced
Marzetti creamy Italian dressing
Mayo

Lay out the flour toritilla, make a thin line of mayo through center, top that line with dressing. Toss in broccoli. Wrap it up and enjoy!


Here's how I make cheddar broccoli soup... I kinda throw it together, the recipe below is an estimation, so you may want to experiment.

Cheesy Broccoli Soup
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 pearl onion, diced
2 Cups Milk
1 Cup cheese, grated (I like a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar)
12 oz frozen chopped broccoli
Your desired spices, to taste

Saute pearl onion with butter in sauce pan. Add 2 cups milk, bring to boil. Toss in frozen broccoli. Lower temperature to a simmer and cover. Stir occasionally. After 5 minutes, check status of broccoli. When no longer frozen, add grated cheese. Stir in well, add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings (Paprika adds a lot of color without making it too spicy). Let simmer 2 mintes or until cheese is melted. Pour into a blender and pulse until broccoli bits are minimal. Pour into bowls and serve hot.

Oh - and if you're using fresh produce, I find broccoli stems are far more potent in flavor. They just require more cooking time and are more of a hassle to dice in preparation. But they're worth the extra effort!
