Broccoli Love for People Who Don’t Think They Love Broccoli
“Broccoli Love” (for people who don’t think they love broccoli) Wash and prep broccoli. Coat with olive oil, red pepper flakes and much garlic. As Foghorn Leghorn would tell it, “I say, I say much garlic.” See pic. Spread on cookie sheet. No crowding. Your broccoli requests room to breathe, y’all, or it won’t get crunchy and all caramelizy.

Shellie’s Crawfish Etoufee
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! We’re making Crawfish Etoufee. Confession?
