BOUNTIFUL BROCCOLI
A special recipe which you will enjoy serving. Vegetables can make or break a nice
meal. It’s important to have tasty
vegetable sides to make low-carbing feel luxurious and not like
deprivation! Rich sauces are encouraged
on a low-carb diet to help satiate the appetite and provide enough fat, since
carbs are restricted and one cannot overdo the protein. Good carbs such as vegetables are to be eaten
and enjoyed.

1/4 cup water (60 mL)
1/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese (60 mL)
Creamy Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 mL)
2 tbsp whipping cream (30 mL)
1/2 tsp minced garlic, optional (2 mL)
