So I’ll be the first to say I don’t have enough vegetables in my diet. Specifically green ones. Kevin and I were raised in families that were very much the meat and potatoes type. So obviously we love meat and potatoes (especially these potatoes).

As I got older, I slowly started broadening my tastes and realized that vegetables can actually taste amazing. It’s all in the preparation.

Don’t resolve yourself to plain steam in a bag veggies. They’re fine, sometimes they can even be good, and they serve a purpose.

But nobody is about to invite their in-laws over to wow them with some steam-in-a-bag broccoli. Aint. Nobody.

Instead, consider the broccolini. It’s ~exotic~ enough to be interesting, but not so far removed from the average person’s diet that they’re going to make a face and ask, “What on earth is that?!”

PS – if they ask, just tell them it’s broccoli’s super tall cousin.

Until next time. X
