Creamy Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole
For some reason, this time of year always brings me back to my middle school and high school days. It reminds me of trick-or-treating with my overstuffed pillowcase slung heavily over my shoulder as I stomp from house to house; high school football games that I never really watched but went to anyway because that’s what everybody did; and resisting bringing out my cold weather clothes and gear because I don't enjoy wearing heavy winter coats. I’ve never entertained the idea of moving back to the Midwest for that reason alone.
It’s funny how our minds naturally respond to changes in the seasons. Not to mention our bodies. Now that the weather has changed and we’re getting more of these crisp fall nights, my body is seriously craving comfort foods. And nothing says comfort like casseroles! These creamy, dreamy dishes dole out comfort like it’s going out of style. The best part about casseroles is how creative you can get. After putting in your base ingredients, like the faux cheeses, sour cream and soup, the sky is really the limit on what can go in there. My favorite additions are rice or hash browns and lots of cruciferous veggies.
This creamy broccoli and cauliflower casserole has been one of my favorites for the past few years and I’m sure it will remain that way for years to come. I hope it becomes one of yours too!
