Random Thrifty Kitchen Tip- Broccoli Stems

My two year-old only eats the "tree" part of broccoli- but he eats a lot of it! That leaves me with a lot of stems to either use up or throw away. I usually save them to put in a soup (Broccoli Cheese, anyone?) or one pot wonder. They have all the broccoli flavor, and none of the tiny pieces in your teeth!

I also recently found this recipe for broccoli pickles, and can't wait to give it a try!
