Almost all the google results said to soak it in salt water. When I did it for last night's dinner it wasn't too bad... Lots of little particles and pieces of broccoli.
But then there was this little guy floating in the bottom.
Thats a bug.... and that is disgusting.
Squeaky clean broccoli for dinner!
Pizza Friday!
Whole wheat pizza crust with olive oil and minced garlic as the sauce. Plus baked chicken, bug-free-broccoli, part skim mozzarella, and parmesan. It was SO good! I'm loving the sauceless pizza.
I was munchy later last night so I raided my tea shelf. My tea has it's own shelf.
I'll admit it. I have a tea problem. I have 27 boxes of tea. I counted.
If you've been reading awhile you've probably noticed I don't drink tea. Well not enough to go through 27 boxes. All of the tea comes from my addiction to coffee. When I try to give up coffee I buy a box of tea. Tea isn't as good as coffee.
Out of all the boxes of teas I have I picked a random Tazo Calm that I think we got from our hotel room in Charleston.
1 out of 300+ tea bags gone.
We had a long night with the kids last night. Well I did. They both have a cold and were really restless. Between the two of them they were up every hour. At 5am I decided to give up. I put them both in my bed with the husband and snuck downstairs.
I thought of doing something productive but instead I parked myself on the couch with a cup of
Have you seen The Help? I loved it. This is the second time I've seen it. I read blogs, watched my movie, and drank an obscene amount of coffee.
I also made breakfast.
3 egg whites, spinach, feta, a little minced garlic all on a toasted sandwich thin.
The husband and I did some crossfit workout and then made lunch. 10 sit ups, 10 pushups, 10 squats x 10. It was boring. I don't like crossfit for this reason.
Lunch was something I'm lovin'.
Hummus and 2% cheddar on a wrap grilled . Plus kale chips with ketchup.
I love these things!
What do you do when you have time to yourself? Watch movies? Read food blogs?

I love your blog. If I want to relax I read blogs, watch a movie, or find some new recipes. Ohhh, I will follow your advise, I will soak the broccoli from now. Great tip. Thanks for sharing.
I either lay down...in actual quiet , or I dance around the house with my music as loud as I want...how did you wash the broccoli btw?
Love the tea shelf picture...it reminds me of my own! There's nothing like tea to warm you up on a chilly winter evening...but I only have 7 boxes. :)
I love your grilled wrap idea! That sounds delicious. I usually read blogs or bake when I have time to myself.
Wow! That wrap looks delicious! I need to try that tomorrow... and wish I had seen this before I made a huge bunch of broc!
First off...I am now washing my broccoli like this!
When I have time to myself (rare!) it is usually after the kids get both in bed between 7:30-8pm. I pick up the house, sit down with the hubby, read my book, watch TV or if exhausted just go right to bed:(
When I have time to myself...which is rare...I usually read or play on the computer, read blogs, or sleep! :)
I love grilled wraps...so good!
Ewww on the broccoli bug! I loved The Help, I didn't think I would, but it was really good! Free time = blog reading or catching up on shows on the DVR.

This is cracking me up. I have the same look for my own tea shelf. I STILL haven't seen the Help! You just reminded me of that. I read it ages ago, wanting to have it finished before the movie come out...
