So you may have noticed the title of this post and the picture don't match. If this is the case, I'd say you're very observant, and correct. Why the mismatch?
Well. I had a hell of a time with the broccoli. The first grocery store only offered limp, wilted, rubbery broccoli. Thanks, but no thanks. I went to a second grocery store, and their broccoli offering left something to be desired, but I found enough of what I thought was good broccoli.
Wrong.
After I washed and started cutting the broccoli, I realized the florets were infested with these tiny, dead black bugs that were stuck to the broccoli and left behind little brown marks when I removed them, somewhat forcibly. I have no idea what the bugs were, and but I did know that a) I was thoroughly grossed out and b) there was no way I was going to be able to remove all of these little bugs. And even if I had, I don't think I would have been able to get over the situation mentally.
So I got a little angry, because I really wanted baked macaroni and broccoli! Then I got over it, and made do. I ended up making just a simple macaroni and cheese based on the intended recipe from 1000 Vegan Recipes, kale chips, and heating up some Gardein I (thankfully) picked up at the store. Those little orange tomatoes are from my aunt's garden - I'd never had orange cherry tomatoes before, but they're really sweet and yummy!
