Ok, I have one for you, how do you like your broccoli.

I do not like cooked broccoli but love raw broccoli salads of all kinds....don't even like broccoli soup. What about you?

Broccoli steamed, sprinkles of Molly McButter Cheddar Cheese on top. At least 2 cups worth. Brussel Sprouts the same way. Especially if I'm in the midst of weight loss movement.

Raw for the most part on my salad every day.

Other wise steamed with some splenda in it.

I do like it.

Usually steamed with butter. I do love broccoli salad with splenda added too.
I like it raw served with sour cream dips too.

Steamed with butter or olive oil. I love cauliflower but only with butter. Brussel Sprouts if they are made so they aren't bitter.
