Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • Cut the broccoli very small so you get lots of little pieces in every bite.
  • Save a little broccoli for garnish because, as they say, you eat with your eyes first.
  • Buy a really good block of medium cheddar cheese and shred it yourself.
  • Keep the heat at medium to low so the cheese doesn’t break and become grainy.
