Cheezy Broccoli

Broccoli is one food I don't enjoy eating raw. I would much rather have it in a stir fry or steamed than eating it raw. The only time I ever enjoyed eating it raw was when it was dipped in ranch dressing (before being a vegan). For some reason at the grocery store on Sunday I reached for the broccoli and put it in my shopping cart, not exactly sure what I was going to do with it. Today I decided I would make a cheezy broccoli for dinner and it was delicious :-). In other news, I have stepped up my cardio the past couple of weeks. Four days out of the week I either go to an intense step aerobics class for an hour or I run 2.5 miles which takes me about half an hour. I enjoy doing cardio because it gives me an extra boost in energy that seems to last the whole day. Without my cardio I can get a little sluggish feeling. Anyways, I will share my recipe with you, let me know if you try it out!

Cheezy Broccoli:

Ingredients - 2 heads of broccoli, 1/8th diced up onion, 2 tbsp of olive oil, sprinkle of sea salt, 1/2 cup of cashews, 1/8 portion of onion, sea salt and pepper to taste.

Directions: Slice up the broccoli and 1/8th of an onion and mix in with olive oil. Place on the dehydrator at 115 degrees for 3 hours. To make the cashew cheeze, in a vitamixer put 1/2 cup of cashews, onion and sea salt and blend until creamy and smooth. Pour a portion of the cheeze on the broccoli. Enjoy!
