Brocoli Rabe

I love, love, love Brocoli Rabe.  Nobody in my house shares the same passion however.  I usually brown some garlic in butter, add the rabe, throw a can of chicken broth over it and spice it up.  Depending on what we have in the house, I'll throw on some cooked chicken or shrimp, or both.  Well, last night I browned the garlic in olive oil, threw in the rabe and broth, spiced it, set it aside to simmer and when it was done I threw the cooked shrimp over it.  It was delicious!  I ate it all!!!  That was my dinner, and I'm thinking it was pretty healthy and low calorie.

Good for you Chris L. glad you're eating things that your household likes. How are you doing with the three fresh fruits a day and are you eating a salad every day? Salud

I have 2 fruits a day, I won't lie. I'm working on getting a third one in. I have 2 salads a day usually. One with dinner and one i have for lunch, just throw whatever meat we had for dinner last night over the top...lunch.

I love it too, but I can't buy it in my town. I sometimes bring it back from Whole Foods in St. Louis, but that is 100 miles away, so I don't get there often.

All of you make sure to check the food pyramid chart I posted a link to. Oh and Chris, next time you post anything regarding food, just combine it to one of your update posts - that way we won't have folks posting food articles - thanks. Salud

Mmmm broccoli rabe with olive oil and shrimp. I used to make this years ago and forgot all about it. Now I have another item for my next healthy shopping list, thanks!

You're welcome mamasaid! I ate it again the next night too! Last night I had a huge salad and a few pieces of London Broil. I added avocado in the salad and it was delicious!
