Lemon Garlic Broccoli and Cauliflower Recipe

By Carolyn Flynn

 

 This is a broccoli recipe even non-broccoli fans will love!

Ingredients:

1 head of broccoli or cauliflower cut into florets

1/2 fresh lemon squeezed or 2 T. lemon juice

1-2 garlic cloves minced or 1 tsp. garlic powder

2 T. extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp. Italian Seasoning

Optional: You can double the lemon and garlic for more intense flavor or add additional lemon juice after baking to add additional flavor zing.

 

Directions:

Combine all ingredients into a gallon size baggie, seal and toss until all of the broccoli or cauliflower is lightly coated. Pour contents into a baking dish or lined cookie sheet. (A cookie sheet will hold 2 heads of broccoli and/or cauliflower.)

Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 – 25 minutes or until tender.

The broccoli will become softer the longer it is left in the oven.

Serve hot or store in a glass container in the fridge for later use.

The lemon garlic broccoli and cauliflower will store for about a week in the fridge and reheats nicely in the microwave.

Enjoy!

Cleanse Your Life

By Carolyn Flynn

Does shifting into Spring inspire you to clean out and lighten up?

If you’re feeling that cleansing urge, it’s the perfect time to join the upcoming Cleanse Your Life course beginning April 7th hosted by my friend and colleague, Lisa Byrne of WellGrounded Life.

Lisa has worked with hundreds of women and mothers who are at the end of their energy bank accounts. They want to feel energized and engaged in their life. She’s worked with women who are having a hard time losing that last amount of weight and want to feel healthy, light and strong in their body.

She has designed the Cleanse Your Life program specifically for busy mothers.

Her whole-body cleanse reminds your cells just how good it feels to be fed healthy, cleansing, high energy foods and it kick-starts habits of healthy eating and healthy living that you can bring back into your daily life.

She’ll be taking a group through the full process of learning a whole new way to use and enjoy foods that cleanse, scrub and renew from the inside out and she’ll teach you how to soothe and cleanse through your self care, personal care products, kitchen/pantry organization, and home flow and function.

Lisa will guide you through creating a cleansing plan that addresses a whole cleanse: body, mind, spirit and your environment. She provides a full manual including recipes and her personal 7-day cleanse plan as well as support through Q&A calls and an online community.
