I can't believe that Easter is no...Hello Alida,<br />I can't believe that Easter is not that far away, and we still have snow and the weather is so cold. I pray that it changes so everyone can go to church in their finest Easter clothes. It is a special time and a very prayerful time as well. Yes, Holy week is so impressive. My dad always sings with his church choir for the whole week of services and then it ends with the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. <br />Yes, this broccoli dish is really good anytime of the year. Oh, my yes, the baking. I can smell the aroma of all the goodies from now. My family did not make the Colomba di Pasqua cake. My family is from Calabria and Sicily, and we make what they call Cuzzupa. It has Anise seeds, and it is more like a cake than a bread. I will be posting the recipe as it gets closer to Easter. But your recipe sounds wonderful with the almonds. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I see the shape. called Easter Dove. Have to check on that again... Thanks for the info...<br />Blessings on a great week...Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-77288690143235562102014-03-04T22:15:48.198-05:002014-03-04T22:15:48.198-05:00Hi Nee,

I thought about maybe putting some red pepper flakes on top of the dish before you serve it. That may bring up the heat a little for you.<br /><br />I agree with you about broccoli, just love it, and it is so versatile. You can use it in so many delicious recipes! Yes, this time of the year is nice as it means "New Life" for everything, Trees, going outside, and flowers blooming! I hope it improves as well, you can't go out in your Easter Bonnet when it is snowing and cold.<br /><br />Have a blessed week, Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-89200637263688501932014-03-04T16:29:38.428-05:002014-03-04T16:29:38.428-05:00Hi Dottie , broccoli is one of my favorite vegg...Hi Dottie , broccoli is one of my favorite veggies this dish looks so good and yummy , it's a good dish for Lent .

Lent is starting tomorrow so 40 days to go for Easter. I must say I prefer it to Christmas. To me it has always been such a special time of the year. I love the Holy Week leading up to Easter. And let's not talk about all the baking to come. Will you make a colomba cake? I did last year and I probably will again this year. So much better than shop bought ones.

Friday nights in my childhood were always a fun night..my mom would come up with fabulous recipes that were meatless. You can also add other ingredients to this as well, if you wanted to use this for another day of the week. Like chunks of chicken, or added button mushrooms sliced. Whatever your desire. So glad that you liked this one..thanks for visiting, Blessings for a wonderful rest of the week.
