Broccoli with cashews...sharing recipes friday!

Hello everyone!
Today I am adding a new
feature to my blog!
Besides decorating I love
love
to
cook!
Really!
I always joke that it is
what made my husband fall in
love with me! Ha ha...I cooked for
him on our second date. That was it....he was
smitten. When I get annoyed with him I think
to myself ...if only I never learned to cook....
Actually he thought my mom cooked the meal
on our second date so the third date
I cooked in front of him!
Friends always ask me for recipes so I thought
I would start sharing them...
Today I am
going to share
my favourite
way of
having ...broccoli!
Steam broccoli for 7 minutes
or until crisp...
Chop 1/3 cup of cashews...

You will also need:
1/3 cup of butter
1tbsp of brown sugar
3 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cloves of garlic- chopped

Melt 1/3 cup of butter in sauce pan
Add garlic and saute till thickened


Mix in 1tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp of white vinegar
1/4 tsp pepper
Bring this to a boil.



Mix in cashews
and pour over
steamed
broccoli...

Serve immediately!

  4. Oh I love that you are doing this. That broccoli sounds great, I will print it out and give it to my husband, after all, "he" is the cook. :-) If you have any desserts or "baking" I will be the one to try that!

  11. Hi Pamela
    Thank you for sharing this broccoli recipe (love this veg)... and thank you for popping over to mine today. I love posting recipes too, so we'll be recipe sharing. As for me... I'm an hopeless romantic... I met and fell in love with my husband in Australia and gave up everything I knew to be with him... I phone him every morning when he gets to work, to tell him I love him... and he's a Valentines baby, so is just filled with love himself. Ours is a very sappy house! Lx
