We had our inaugural Sunday night barbecue for the summer season last weekend. Hanging out with friends is a great way to end the weekend. Craig served his famous Lemon Garlic Broccoli with us and everyone gobbled it up. I twisted his arm and he agreed to share it with you. The recipe is so easy and only 4 Weight Watchers Points.
We grilled the broccoli in a covered saucepan. The grilling, along with the garlic and lemon, transform this dish into a delicious side. People who don’t like broccoli find themselves won over by the amazing flavor.
