broccoli

can you overdo it on broccoli? i just ate like 3 cups of steamed broccoli. didnt realize i was so hungry. a good lesson here is that i should only cook that which i intend to eat. im sure i ate so much more b/c i had cooked so much of it. later down the line i'll have the restraint to refrigerate extras. pero anyways, years ago i had dinner with a girlfriend and she offered me mayonnaise for my broccoli. i was horrified. well, i wasnt even a fan of broccoli or vegetables at all at the time anyway. oh how i've grown! anyway, mayonnaise with steamed broccoli is the bomb. even better, vegenaise instead of mayonnaise. not only are you getting plenty of iron, vitamin K, and lowering your risk of cancer; you are saving the lives of chickens as well, for vegenaise is sans eggs. it's not the broccoli im worried about overdoing it with, actually, it's the vegenaise with comes in at 90 calories a tablespoon.
update: after calculating, this broccoli debacle cost me 464 calories. >:(
