     I love broccoli, too - so it'll be nice to try it slightly differently!
    Like Frenchtosd, I feel the calories are a bit on the high side - but I think you have included the calories for the full amount of the olive oil, whereas that'd probably be at least partially drained for serving.

     I already do this. I love broccoli. I can't eat a lot of green vegetables due to food allergies but the ones I can eat I eat all the time. I have even found a few that I would not have tried before my allergy became an issue - 5/12/10

     Thank you. A nice way to add variety. Since I am the only one who eats it, I usually eat it raw or steamed with nothing added and still love it, but this is a nice twist when I have a few minutes. - 1/10/10
