A Veggie Trick (from Dessert Diva)

We love veggies at our house, especially in the summer when you can get them fresh from the farmer's market. Well, I recently came across a box of frozen chopped broccoli while I was cleaning out the freezer. I have no idea where it came from, as I typically never buy frozen vegetables unless they are specifically called for in a recipe. Anyways, I decided to make the broccoli last night to go along with the Mexican Chicken Meatballs I was making. The only problem was I didn't have anything to put on top.

Now, I mentioned that we like vegetables, and my husband will eat them, but he prefers to have some kind of sauce on top to mask the taste. I started rummaging through the fridge and came across this...

Now, I love this stuff. I put it on everything...crackers, sourdough bread, raw veggies and now...cooked broccoli. I threw 2 wedges into the steamed broccoli and voila...deliciousness! Plus, each wedge is only 4 g of fat and 50 calories so it's a fairly healthy way to give veggies that cheesy flavor that kids (and husbands) love.

As you can probably tell, I am super excited about this little trick. It's healthy, easy and delicious...what more can you ask for?
