….When someone tells you to eat more greens, you probably think of broccoli. Broccoli is a popular vegetable that can be consumed both raw and cooked. Delicious cheesy fritters made with chicken and broccoli. Super tasty and kid-friendly, great for lunch or dinner too. Luckily, my grandson SIWOO loves both chicken and broccoli. So put them together in a tasty cheesy fritter and it’s a different meal. This made me think for a moment, toddlers will never eat if it doesn’t taste good…..haha. Sadly, my grandson didn’t even have a bite……Even though I made it. Broccoli has a reputation as a superfood. It’s low in calories but contains a wealth of nutrients that support many aspects of health. I just made these!! It’s so tasty, and a great way to pack vegetables and protein in tasty little crispy, cheesy bites. They are amazing for kids’ dinners and also great for adults. This recipe is from@recipe_tin.
