Mixing cheese casserole. With broccoli.

Making casseroles was in my list of things to do for a long time. It has always appealed to me. One dish meal, loaded with vegetables and easy. Yes, easy. I was thinking - just mix it all, bake and the meal is ready. Finally I made it. And it was easy.

There were ricotta cheese, sour cream, grated parmesan and broccoli in my fridge. I have mixed it and the result over performed any expectations. The result was record amount of broccoli my daughter ate. Ever. She gobbled the casserole with the broccoli and asked for more and more.

I have made this recipe using steamed cauliflower. Delicious. Another record amount of cauliflower for my daughter.  Spinach is next. 


This is a great solution to help picky children to eat more vegetables. With cheese vegetables taste better.
