![]() ![]() Perhaps one of these months I’ll write about “weird uncle stew” or perhaps you can refer back to my column on “Something soup.” Would I or any other carb-loving man have thought to include the random can of artichoke hearts in the casserole? Not likely, but you might be like my uncle, who simply starts cracking random dusty cans from the back of the pantry and adding them in, without rhyme or reason or a plan of attack. Hill absolutely loves spinach artichoke dip and bought an ambitious amount of the essential ingredient, thus creating a surplus. How did you end up with spare artichoke hearts, you ask? Well, Mrs. Plus she added-of all things-artichoke hearts. My wife had quite a bit to use up from our freezer and replaced the broccoli with it. Spinach isn’t even in the original recipe. And for the record, spinach isn’t the only healthy thing you can hide in there. The recipe is a creamy lemon chicken broccoli rice casserole. So instead of plopping the urchins in front of a Popeye marathon, try this recipe my wife found while perusing Pinterest. ![]() ![]() Having trouble getting your kids to eat a mushy steamed pile of it? Presentation is key, and if there is one thing my wife is good at, it’s making healthy things look sinfully yummy. The ingredient, once so despised by so many children that mothers banded together to create a cartoon to push the propaganda of its instantaneous muscle-growing effects (don’t fact-check me, I just made that up), is now widely used, not only in salads but also in many types of casseroles and dips. ![]()
