This is delicious believe me. Everyone will love it - even kids and people who don't like broccoli. One Thanksgiving it was the only thing my friends 3 kids would eat. I never fail to make it every Thanksgiving and Xmas - if I didn't my family and friends would be disappointed.

P.S. You can use any veggie you like;the original recipe was with brussell sprouts!!!
