Directions
Trees and Snow, A childhood favorite Okay, we loved broccoli any way you served it, but this was a lot of fun You can, of course, serve the snow with other veggies, but then it wouldn’t be snow, would it? Because snow goes on trees It’s not quite as nummy with raw trees, but still pretty good, so that one’s up to you The broccoli-cooking method works well with most veggies (just adjust acidity and sweetness to taste) You may want to add a pat or two of butter if you’re not using snow with it When I say mayonnaise , I mean Best Foods/Hellman’s Use another brand at your own risk I am not responsible for any resulting implosion of the universe if you use Miracle Whip , Loved the simplicity and taste of this recipe, though we did need to cook it quite a bit longer for our tastes I found about 4 minutes was more accurate for our microwave, and it was still a bit crunchy even then Great how the broccoli stays a bright green colour!, A childhood favorite Okay, we loved broccoli any way you served it, but this was a lot of fun You can, of course, serve the snow with other veggies, but then it wouldn’t be snow, would it?
