I like broccoli and cauliflower marinated as a salad --
blanch the flowerettes, cover with zesty Italian dressing,
and let it marinate for a few hours.

This one is quite good and lends itself to experimentation.
The allspice adds a lot provided you make the salad a bit
ahead of time to blend the flavors. I don't think I use as
much mayo as she calls for and I don't use the sugar.

For broccoli: slice/divide it into "spears" and steam it;
plunge into cold water; drain; add to salads. Some like a
light steaming; I like the sweet tenderness of a thorough
steaming. In the past 25 years, it's been my main way of
serving broccoli, and the kids can hardly imagine a salad
without it, now.

Raw, mixed, bite-size pieces (sometimes with carrot or snow
peas) tossed with melted butter, sprinkled with lemon pepper
is the way I usually fix.

This is a delicious casserole which I make all the time.
Broccoli and cauliflower are my favorite vegetables next to
string beans.

1 (16ounce) package frozen broccoli cuts or 1 pound
fresh steamed
1 (17ounce) package frozen cauliflower florets or 1
pound fresh steamed 1 large onion, chopped 2
tablespoons margarine or butter 2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
4/4 teaspoon pepper 1 1/4 cups milk
4 (1ounce) packages cream cheese with chives, cut up
5/4 cup soft bread crumbs 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
cheese 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook broccoli and cauliflower according to package
directions. Drain well. Place in a large saucepan. Set
aside.

Cook onion in the 2 tablespoons margarine or butter until
tender but not brown. Stir in flour, salt, garlic powder,
basil and pepper. Add milk. Cook and stir until thickened
and bubbly. Add cream cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Stir
into vegetable mixture.

Pour into 2 quart casserole. Toss together bread crumbs,
cheese, and 2 tablespoons melted margarine or butter.
Sprinkle over vegetable mixture. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30
minutes or until heated through.

To make ahead. Refrigerate unbaked casserole, covered up to
1 day, and bake as directed or freeze up to 1 month thaw

45 minutes or until heated through.

We've had a recent Cauliflower discussion here, with mashed
cauliflower "faux-tatoes" recommended highly. Someone else
said it was delicious sliced thin, brushed with olive oil
and baked until well browned.

Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad 6-8 servings from Colorado
Cache Cookbook

1 small head cauliflower 2 large stalks broccoli 1 small
onion, chopped finely 1 c. mayonnaise 1 Tbsp. vinegar 1
Tbsp. sugar

Divide caulflower and broccoli into small bite-sized
florets, discarding stalks. Combine the mayo, vinegar and
sugar, add to vegetables and mix well.

Note: This tastes much better when made at least one day
ahead. It will keep for several days int he
refrigerator, sealed tightly. You may prefer it with
your favorite ranch dressing isntead of the
mayonnaise mixture.

You could also make cream of c.soup with a chicken
stock base.

Hi Tara, your recipe sounds good! And to you Mike, I don't
need a reference to google as most people here do not. We
are ALL aware of google. I just want some good ideas that
have been tried here among the group. But thanks anyhow!

You don't have trouble with the broccoli turning an ugly
shade of brown-grey? I never marinate green vegetables for
that reason. The cauliflower marinates wonderfully.

Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

Thanks for all of the great ideas. This is the one I will
try first only because I love cream cheese and I have all of
the ingrediants. I was going to make it yesterday but we
spent so much time on our landscaping and getting our patio
furniture out that we ate out! I still have a head of
cauliflower and a bunch of broccoli to eat up before it goes
bad. I am actually a bit sick of it by now and and really
appreciate the recipes for a different way to prepare it.

To whose kids are you alluding? They must be your present
shack-up's little [censored] from previous relationships...
'cause if they were yours you'd have said "my/our kids",

disassociating yourself from the sniveling little buggers.

Oh, no, the broccoli stays green.
