Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating The vegetables in this recipe are what originally attracted me to it and the combination did not fail. My only critique was that even though I *love* butter, I didn't feel like it added to the overall flavor as much as I had hoped. As another reviewer stated, it was a little bland. I ended up adding additional salt and pepper, but I'm wondering if there's an addition that can provide a bit more flavor without detracting from the taste of the fresh veggies. Perhaps next time I'll add some lemon juice and see how that goes. Definitely a recipe to make again! Posted June 21, 2011 by Anne K. Rating This was so good it has become a regular star on our dinner table. My kids love this. It was a little bland for our tastes so I added Frank's Hot Sauce, chili powder and cumin. Sometimes I will substitute frozen peas for the frozen broccoli.
