Do you like Broccoli?????

Okay so I must admit.  Veggies are NOT my favorite thing.  I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate them, but I would say I don't like most of them, and if I could choose not to eat them, I will most definately do that.  So if I can find a way to either hide them in something else or disguise them I will do that.  My mom shared with me a recipe that I love and have been making over and over again, and continues to get requested at potlucks and dinners that I go to over and over again.  And the miracle is that I don't even mind that there is broccoli in it.  I guess if you disguise broccoli with cornbread and a lot of butter it is good.  So try this!!!  (try it on your kids, they won't even realize what you have done before they are asking for more)

Broccoli Cornbread

2 boxes of jiffy cornbread mix
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
1 med onion, chopped (you can also saute if you like)
1 1/4 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 package chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
1 cup skim (or your choice) milk

**Mix cornbread mix, salt, eggs, onion, and butter together until well incorporated.  Add cottage cheese, and remix, don't try to break up cottage cheese lumps, baking will take care of that.
**Drop in broccoli and cup of milk and well mix.  Evenly distribute broccoli throughout mixture.
**Put in baking dish.  I prefer metal because it browns more evenly on the bottom.
**Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

Serve immediately or serve later.  Can be microwaved for a few seconds if it gets cold and it is wonderful (and that is coming from me who HATES leftovers).

This will make a wonderful addition to your holiday table.  Okay, I gotta go get mine out of the oven.  I have some cooking for two potlucks:  one for my work and at hubby's work.  Happy cooking.
