More About This Recipe

  • Can you believe Thanksgiving is like 15 minutes from now? Whaaaaat.

    I especially can't believe Thanksgiving is that close because I have two little munchkins inside me about to escape from belly prison like bandits on the RUN. These babes are active and insano in the belly membrano. But I'll take it. 

    Just like I'll take this dang Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole we've got goin' on. It's infused with rosemary and roasted garlic and smothered in a cream sauce and topped with crunchy panko and OH. 

    Okay, so first get your broccoli and cauli broken into little florets. Done. 

    Then ya slice off the end of your garlic head and wrap it in a little foil. Drizzle some olive oil over it. Magical things are about to happen in that there oven of yours. 

    Roasted! (Said like Jim Carrey in The Mask.)

    Then you'll melt some butter in a little pan and add the roasted garlic cloves, along with some freshly chopped rosemary. Smash it as best you can!

    Then add the flour and keep smashing until the cloves are smooth and...smashed. 

    Add some milk and cheese and get it all creamy and dreamy. 

    Pour the sauce over the veggies (which you've transferred to a small casserole dish) and look into its eyes. Top it with panko. Oh my heavenly face.

    And there it is. All baked and bubbly and creamy and calling out your name. "Lovah….oh lovah…" Did I just say that out loud?

    MAKE THIS.

    Bev just finished it and needs to lie down. She's so happy. For more musings visit her blog Bev Cooks and her Tablespoon profile.
