The Ultimate Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

• 2 big heads of broccoli or 3 smaller ones
  
  
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 to 3 tbsp olive oil
  
  
• 1½ tsp salt
  
  
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¼ cup roasted pecans, chopped
• ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks and cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. I cut mine in really small florets because I wanted bite size florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
3. Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with lemon juice, pecans and Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.

Mexican Chicken Lime Soup

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 medium jalapeno
• 4 cloves garlic
• ¾ lb. chicken breast
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes w/chiles
• 1 tsp oregano
• ½ Tbsp cumin
• 1 medium lime
• ½ bunch cilantro
• 1 medium avocado

Instructions

1. Dice the onion, celery, and jalapeno (scrape the seeds out of the jalapeno before dicing). Mince the garlic. Cook the onion, celery, jalapeno, and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until tender.
2. Add the chicken breast, chicken broth, canned tomatoes with chiles, oregano, and cumin to the pot. Bring the whole pot up to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on top, and let simmer for one hour.
3. After simmering for an hour with a lid on, carefully remove the chicken breast from the pot and use two forks to shred the meat. Return the meat to the pot. Squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup. Get as much juice as possible from the lime by using a spoon to scrape the inside of the lime.
4. Rinse the cilantro and then roughly chop the leaves. Add to the pot, give it a quick stir, and serve. Dice the avocado and add a few chunks to each bowl.
