RECIPE | Garlic Broccoli

I LOVE BROCCOLI !!! I eat this recipe just about every two days. Broccoli is part of the cruciferous veggies group meaning that it is a good source in fiber and vitamins (calcium iron, magnesium, potassium). It is a good food to eat for colon health as it gives you plenty of ruffage in your digestive system. The trick to cooking broccoli is to retain its green colorful. If it turns grayish, green then you've over-cooked it.

RECIPE: Easy Soup Mirepoix

What is Mirepoix? I had been hearing this for years and never knew what it was. The word Mirepoix is French and is pronounced like "mirra-pwa". It is a mixture of chopped carrots, onions and celery that is mainly used to flavor soups, sauces and stocks.

You can use this simple mixture to flavor any type of meat and soup base. It is easy to make and remember in addition to being nutritious. Oftentimes, I add broth, garlic, ginger and butter in my mixture.
