Roasted Broccoli with Mustard and Blue Cheese Dressing

I was looking for a little inspiration the other day for the head of broccoli that was sitting in my fridge so I picked up a copy of Brassicas: Cooking the World’s Healthiest Vegetables and let me tell you Bob, the book is PACKED with all sorts of delicious recipes. So many in fact I may have to start eating kale again because the author makes it look so good. 😉

This recipe for roasted broccoli with mustard and blue cheese dressing caught my eye and DID NOT DISAPPOINT.  I upped the Dijon mustard a wee bit {we are mustard freaks around here} and the HH even took the leftovers in his lunch the next day, it was that good.

The next time you have broccoli on hand, give this recipe a try.

    I grow kale but the only way I will eat it is raw mixing in a salad with lettuce of some kind or in an Italian soup I make. It doesn’t have a great deal of kale in the soup but it is one of the most important ingredients. I don’t like the real dark velvety kale like pictured on the front of your cookbook in the post. I grow a type of kale that is semi-curly on the tips and not nearly as dark in color. It is so good that often I will pick some to munch on while I’m outside. And I never, ever ate kale before growing it.
