Broccoli and Noodles

An original recipe from the Recipes from Home binder created by my mom and presented to her six daughters. This simple side dish can easily accompany any prepared protein. For myself, I generally serve with my tofu fish sticks. For my husband, I will serve with either baked salmon or a grilled chicken breast. Enjoy…
