The weather is brightening, each day the sun shines a touch longer and the thoughts wonder to a warmer more tranquil setting. I go there in my mind; not to escape but to imagine; to marvel and to wonder.
Ingredients:
1 head of fresh broccoli – sliced into spears
For the Dip:
8 oz. of cream cheese
¼ cup of grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
½ cup of milk
1 large garlic clove
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
Blanch the broccoli; drain and set aside to cool.
In a food processor combine all of the ingredients for the dip and process until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness of the dip by adding the milk a little at a time. Make the dip thickness to your liking.
Serve with a lemon wedge to squeeze over the broccoli.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

Broccoli and me were not on good terms until I tried it steamed. Oh man, so good! And I love a good creamy cheesy dip. These are perfect together!

Healing Tomato says
Nothing says healthy like broccoli and ranch. Being a vegetarian, I always look for simple snacks and this definitely works. Do you recommend putting a few drops of lemon juice on the broccoli after it has been blanched?
Catherine says
You might like to put a few drops of lemon and perhaps a dash of salt to the broccoli. Catherine
