Easy Cheesy Broccoli Bake: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
Continuing with my Pink Ribbon Recipe, I pick this recipes to share because I LOVE broccoli. It's one of my favorite vegetables.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea, one of the side effects of cancer treatment. Broccoli is a great source of folic acid, which aid in normal body functions. But as I stated here the doctor warns excessive folic acid can interfere with the effectiveness of a chemotherapy called methotrexate, so please check with the doctor first, if you're on a special diet.

What I Did and/or Think:
I followed the recipe except for the changes in Italic.
The Taste: I really like the taste of this casserole. I served it with boneless/skinless chicken baked breast topped with a cheese sauce. GOOD EAT! I think the next time I do this I will use Uncle Ben Long Grain Rice, my favorite; so this will be REPEATED!
