Herb Seasoned Broccoli and Tomatoes

One of my daughters has become a vegetarian so I've been looking for recipes for her, she's 15.  I'll be sharing here.
 
1 pound fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces


2 Tablespoons olive oil


1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves


1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 clove garlic, finely chopped


2 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped






Heat 1 inch water to boiling in a skillet. Add broccoli, heat to boiling. Boil 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside. In skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until hot. Remove skillet from heat, add broccoli and toss gently to coat.

I am enjoying your blog and wanted to offer a vegetarian recipe for your daughter. On my healthy meal planning website, www.eatwellmealplans.com, I usually feature 2 vegetarian options per week. They are quick and easy so she could probably prepare them herself. As a nutritionist and mom I know what an advantage it is for kids to enjoy eating healthy in their teens!
