Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole - Comfort Food Can Be Healthy!

最近我的工作都有点让我们忙得晕头转向,我也开始贯彻一切从简的革命方针。

那就做个简单,美味,营养的芝士芥兰杂烤吧。谁说“COMFORT FOOD”就不能又好吃又营养呢?这款烤菜,特别适合带中餐。第二天,虽然扮相一般,但口味不减。试试吧!

A simple vision of food sometimes comes with many advantages, especially when recently both of us have been crazy busy and dealing with nutty jobs.

If we can remove peanut-butter sandwich from the gourmet food category temporarily, just for the sake of argument, nothing comes easier and tastier than a basic, down-to-earth broccoli casserole. The vegetables tasted tender and flavorful. The whole wheat bread added extra chewiness and texture of the dish. It’s perfect for taking leftovers as lunch the next day. And, who said comfortable food cannot be delicious and healthy at the same time? I added some lean ground-turkey in the recipe to give it an extra kick with protein. And this recipes has loads of fiber in it, as it include broccoli, cauliflowers, carrots and whole wheat bread.
