It has been one of those weeks when posting has had to take a back seat despite all the recipes I am eager to share. Each evening this week I have worked late resulting in limited chore time, practically non-existent me time, and absolutely no blog time.
A Quick Broccoli Protein Casserole Type Loaf
On evenings when I get home late my pre-set timer always overcooks my steamed vegetables since I am not there to take off the lid (at least we can say it is a consistent appliance). Since I have teeth, I often don’t feel like eating baby food style broccoli. Thus I quickly make it into a protein broccoli casserole type loaf.
It is always delicious when you can turn some overcooked mushy foodstuff into a delicious topping base

This recipe takes wasted ingredients (overcooked broccoli and makes it delicious!). It can be made in under 7 minutes if you have all the ingredients close by. |

A great mix of protein and carbs. Top with some healthy fats to help make a complete meal: 16g carbs/17g protein/1g fat. | |

Very flexible recipe as you can get creative with spices you add. I have made this recipe adding taco flavouring and topped with sour cream and salsa and it was quite incredible! | |

Unlike a lot of recipes that use steamed vegetables this loaf is not mushy or overly moist. Especially once toasted it is perfectly firm and loaf like. | |
| General Comments: I used a microwave safe flat square dish to microwave this. |

Even thick enough to cut in half
Topped with cheese, eggs, and tomato
Perfectly Toasted

Not gonna lie, when I overcook something I usually throw it out. I need to start being more resourceful like you!
I hope things at work calm down a bit for you so that you have some more time for yourself!
