Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Roasted Broccoli

• Tonight I am sharing with you my recipe for roasted broccoli. I have never been a broccoli fan, whereas Russ loves it... and I think this was the recipe that helped convince me that broccoli IS okay to eat. We prepared this for our Thanksgiving Day dinner, attended by several friends, that we hosted, and everyone raved about how delicious it was. The recipe also works well using brussels sprouts or asparagus! You can use fresh or frozen broccoli - we have used both with excellent results. It isn't a pretty dish, but it is very yummy!

• Ingredients
  • 2 heads broccoli, separated into florets (or 1 pound frozen broccoli)
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Sprinkle of crushed red pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Shredded parmesan cheese

• Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl (a Ziploc bag works well for this), toss broccoli florets with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper and garlic (and red pepper, optionally). Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until florets are tender enough to pierce the stems with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze lemon juice liberally over the broccoli, then sprinkle on Parmesan cheese before serving.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Quick Fried Rice

I am a HUGE fan of Fried Rice, especially since it can be turned into a quick meal when you've got some leftovers in the fridge. The biggest key to fried rice is using rice that has been cooked and refrigerated previously. It gets "crispy" when you stir-fry it, whereas freshly cooked rice doesn't. However, using freshly cooked rice works, too!. So next time you think you're going to have some leftovers in the fridge, cook up some rice and have it waiting to be thrown together into your masterpiece.

• Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups cooked white rice, rinsed and chilled
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen vegetables, thawed*
  • 3 scallions or green onions, sliced
  • 1/3 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 eggs, scrambled

• Directions
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add rice and stir-fry 10 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and scallions/green onions and continue to stir-fry 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring in scrambled egg. Serve! If you have leftover chicken, steak, shrimp, pork, etc. you can cut it into small pieces and warm it up to add to your rice for a one-dish meal. Frozen mixed vegetables that are suggested have small pieces of carrots and peas but any frozen vegetables work well, especially when turning this into a one-dish meal.
