Well hello world! It’s been a while! I took a dip outside of the food world while I was up to my neck in wedding and family photo season! Then I needed to take a bit of a breather because honestly, running all these social accounts is a lot of work and sometimes you just need a break! But I’m back at it with this simple pan fried broccoli! I honestly make this probably once a week to just eat as a side or put on top of fettuccine alfredo. This is a fairly common side dish at Italian restaurants. It’s quick, easy, packed with flavor, and pretty good for you! Sometimes, I throw a little spinach, kale, or red onion for some extra veggies. The world is your veggie oyster! So grab a pan and let’s get sautéing!

Instructions
