"Definitely quick and definitely simple - a classic combination for a great side dish. Not to mention it's a great way to camouflage a healthy veggie in case you have picky eaters in your house! I use..." See mored a steam in bag of broccoli and whether you use velvetta or another of your favorite cheeses this stuff is great!"
