It's been a very long time since I've been able to post anything on here.
I promise, I didn't forget about the site! I just started my new job, and Best Friend was in town for a few weeks, so I haven't had time to experiment with any new recipes.
This weekend, though, I'm back and going strong! I'm trying THREE (four?) new recipes this weekend! Today I made Baked Broccoli Cheese Bites as an afternoon snack for the family. Then, I made my very own Pesto for the first time, since one of my awesome new coworkers brought me a big bag of fresh basil and I talked the Parentals into purchasing a small food processor. For dinner I used that Pesto to make Chicken Fettuccine with Pesto Cream Sauce. Recipes for both to come. Tomorrow I'm supposed to try a Curry Chicken dish that the Mother has picked out.
SO! Down to business. Baked Broccoli Cheese Bites! I know this is two broccoli cheese recipes in a row, but hey, it's been a month since I made the last one! Anyway, this was a great snack. Filling, moderately healthy, fun to make, and tasty!

Taste: 1.5
Feeds: 3-5
The recipe yielded 20 patties, and my parents ate 16 between them. I would call this a success! But really, I will make these again. This is another kid friendly food because you mix it and make the patties with your hands. What can I say? I like getting my hands dirty when I cook. Plus, the bread and cheese mix ins and the fun of making them, might help get kids more interested in eating broccoli!
Suggestions / Changes
I used Panko bread crumbs instead of regular italian bread crumbs. I thought this worked out just fine, and they're better for you, too! Yum yum yum! I really didn't think that they needed anything else. One of the best things about this dish is its simplicity!
