Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli cut up into small pieces
  • 2 cups cut up carrots we just use the baby carrots
  • Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce see recipe below
  • 1 Tablespoons Fresh Chives chopped

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • 3 oz. pkg. of cream cheese
  • ¼ cups parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoons minced garlic you could also use garlic powder to get the flavor
  • ¼ cups milk
  • 1 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

Directions for Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • Cook all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly, seriously otherwise it sticks to the pan. Stir until smooth and heated all the way through.

Putting it all together:

  • Heat about an inch of water to boiling in a saucepan. Add the broccoli and carrots. Heat until it is boiling again.
  • Boil for about 5-7 minutes or so until the veggies are crisp-tender. Drain them and keep them warm. I usually make the sauce while the veggies are cooking. Serve the veggies in a small side dish or on the plate. Top the veggies with the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce and then sprinkle about a tablespoon of fresh chives on top. Yum!!
