20-MINUTE CRISPY PIEROGIES WITH BROCCOLI AND SAUSAGE
This is a kid-friendly twist on the classic Italian combination of broccoli rabe and sausage. We discovered that cooking mini pierogies pot-sticker style in a hot skillet saved time (no waiting for water to boil) and left them both crispy and tender.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the pierogies snugly flat-side down in the skillet (there may be some overlapping). Cook until the bottoms just begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and simmer until the pierogi dough is tender and the water has completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more; watch carefully as they can go from golden to burnt quickly. Remove from the heat.
- While the pierogies cook, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, squeeze the sausage out of the casings into the skillet. Cook the sausage, stirring frequently and breaking it up into bite-size pieces, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and pepper flakes and stir until the garlic begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli. Stir in the broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half and the broccoli is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer the pierogies to a large, shallow serving dish and top with the sausage and broccoli mixture. Toss everything to combine and sprinkle with extra Parmesan.
PEGGY'S BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
I made this recipe by taking two other recipes, then adding and subtracting with my own ingredients. I took it to a friends and family picnic, and everyone loved it.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Place the frozen broccoli into a large saucepan and cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water has come to a boil and the broccoli is no longer frozen, drain in a colander set in the sink.
- While waiting for the broccoli to come to a boil, beat the cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Add the condensed soup, ranch dressing, sour cream, mayonnaise, onion, and flour; mix well. Stir in the drained broccoli along with the Cheddar cheese until evenly mixed. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Toss the dry stuffing mix with the melted butter, and spread evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbly, and the top is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

EASY BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE
For the longest time, my mum would make this amazing broccoli casserole. It is more like a crustless quiche, but has converted many broccoli haters into broccoli lovers! I have not ever tweaked this recipe - not even to add minced garlic, sauteed onion, pimento, etc; it's too simple and delicious on its own to need tweaking. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking. It freezes well and can be thawed prior to cooking.

PEGGY'S BROCCOLI SALAD
My mom Peggy lost 67.5 pounds on Weight Watchers and kept it off for over 10 years and was also a WW Leader. She was always looking for new ways to prepare foods so they were enjoyable and healthy. This salad fits the bill and therefore is named in her honor. You can certainly use real sugar or mayonnaise (in the same quantities as listed) but why waste the calories when the light/no sugar version tastes this good? No one at your table will notice anything is missing and they will probably ask you to make it again and again . . . And why not? Not only does it taste great, it is low in calories, and a great way to eat your veggies.

Steps:
- Cut up Broccoli into small pieces. If you do not like the stalks they can be removed and only use the florets. Place broccoli into your serving bowl that has a lid.
- Slice the red onion into thin circles. Pop the layers of the onion out so the circles are separated. Place in bowl with the broccoli.
- In a separate bowl mix the remaining ingredients. Use a fork or a whisk to make sure everything is thoroughly combined. Pour dressing over the broccoli and onions.
- Cover the container securely with the lid and shake well.
- The salad can be served immediately. I prefer to let it chill overnight and serve it right from the refrigerator. If you get a chance while it is chilling flip the container over at least once so that the dressing can fully coat all of the vegetables. Shake again before serving.
- Enjoy.
AWESOME BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE
My mom used to make this easy recipe every Thanksgiving when I was little. We kids could never get enough! It was our very favorite Thanksgiving vegetable. If you have children, or have some coming to visit you as guests this Thanksgiving, I guarantee that they will eat (and enjoy) this veggie dish! Even though I rarely cook with canned condensed soups, I still make this yummy broccoli casserole during the holiday season. It's fabulous with a Christmas ham and potatoes au gratin too. Mmmmmmm!
