Vegetables are definitely a tough sell in my house. However, one vegetable that everyone in my family does like is- surprise!- broccoli. I bought some broccoli the other day, planning to just steam it and serve with rice and some sort of meat. But when my son asked for pasta for dinner last night, the wheels in my head started turning. Rather than just serve the pasta with Bryan-safe butter (his usual), why not play around with it a little? Start with the pasta and Bryan-safe butter, throw in a little broccoli and some bacon. Sort of like Pasta Carbonara minus the egg, plus the broccoli. It combines three foods that everyone in my family likes separately- they'll like them mixed together, right? Well, not quite...
Recipe- Pasta Carbonara-ish- no recipe, just throwing things together
Modifications- Ummmm... added the bacon and broccoli
Reactions- Well, Dad liked it. Bryan picked out the pasta and broccoli- no bacon. Claudia picked out the pasta- no broccoli or bacon. Oh well.
Notes- I'm stubborn. I really think this is something everyone SHOULD have enjoyed, so I'll probably try it again sometime.
