Sauteed Broccoli

1 bunch fresh or frozen broccoli
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon

In a pan, heat the olive oil together with the butter. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli to the pan and saute until broccoli is heated through and just tender. Squeeze the 1/2 lemon over the broccoli, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

*Talk about an easy side dish. You can make this about 10 minutes before you are about to serve dinner. To keep it warm, cover it with foil, but don't leave it on too long, or the broccoli will become mushy. I love the lemon juice in this recipe. It adds a nice brightness to the broccoli without being overpowering. Depending on how much broccoli you are using, you can use less or more lemon juice. And, if you don't like garlic or lemon juice, just leave them out!

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7
