Homemade Cheesy Rice & Sauteed Broccoli


One of my 4 year old daughter's favorite lunches when she gets home from school!  And what a healthy dose of comfort food it is! 
  • For best results, try to use fresh broccoli and Basmati rice. 
  • Make a traditional cheese sauce (I used Mexican blend & parmesean) and mix into a larger quantitiy of cooked rice so it's not soupy. 
  • Chop up and rinse broccoli, and saute in extra virgin olive oil over medium heat for 10-15 min. Season with coarse salt and a tad of freshly ground pepper.  Garlic powder optional as well.  It beats any processed boxed riced mixes!
