Broccomoli

"This comes from the Taste of Home website...I was skeptical at first, but as a calorie watcher and a broccoli lover I gave it a try. The original recipe did not call for garlic, but I found that garlic was delicious! I suppose you could experiment with cilantro or cumin as well. Don't taste it until it is well chilled or you will be disappointed. Try not to use the preminced bottled garlic...throw in a real clove (or less)...it is fantastic...but VERY strong garlic flavor with one clove!"

  1. This was a remarkable hit! I decided to try it because I had a lot of broccoli that I wanted to use up and was looking for some kind of an appetizer for that evening. I did make a few changes: I substituted cottage cheese for the sour cream & doubled it to 1/2 cup. I also skipped the mayonnaise, garlic & onion & replaced them to taste with red chili sauce, salt and the suggested cilantro. Served it with tortilla chips & like I said, everyone loved it!
     
  2. Always looking for lowfat snacks, and this was great! Didn't taste exactly like guacomole, but that was fine - a nice alternative, reminded me of tapenade. ZERO WW points (!) even for one fourth of the recipe. Sis & I had this amount with somed baked chips, the total for our snack was 2 points. I even added a spoonful when making an omelette, liked that too. Might try adding some salt and salsa next time.
     
  3. This is outstanding! I seem to have a broccoli "need" at the moment and am overjoyed to have found this keeper recipe. Thank you for posting.

I live in a small town in Oregon, still awaiting our first stop light. I work in a neighboring town as a small animal veterinarian, part-time. I have a four year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I have two large horses, a miniature horse, one dog and one cat. My husband and I enjoy anything in the out of doors. Besides spending time with family and our animals, my family and I enjoy being involved in our church and spending time with friends. Although many of my recipes posted are of desserts I like to make for family or friends, I have for the last several years ascribed to a healthier lifestyle...eating lots of protein, veggies and fruits. No, I am not a low carber....I eat the right carbs....brown rice, whole wheat bread and all in moderation. I do have several recipes posted that I use often that adhere to these guidelines. When you combine eating nutrient dense foods with monitoring your caloric intake, you can't help but be healthy! There is an awesome free website that you can use along with Zaar to help meet these goals. It is www.calorie-count.com. It takes a day or two to learn how to use it...but it is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to analyze what they eat and figure out what your caloric expenditures and allowances should be. Like Zaar it also had a wonderful community of people with a common interest...staying healthy while enjoying foods. OK...enough of the plug...but I really do love that website! Zaar has been great for finding recipes that fit this lifestyle...many recipes can simply be modified to be healthy. The variety this gives us has made the difference in getting the whole family to eat that way....that's right...I don't think my daughter has tasted white bread more than two to three times in her life!!! On all four of her birthdays she turned up her nose at the cake I baked her (a once a year exception)....which made me so happy!! So thank you Zaar....for contributing to our healthy lifestyle...couldn't do it without you!!!
