Go easy on the cheese. A lot of saturated fat, and if processed cheese, trans fats. Trans fats in snacks did in my arteries.
Broccoli is very good for you, but eat other veggies, too.
melt 1T butter with 1 T flour in the bottom of heavy skillet. Cook on med low for a couple of minutes to get rid of floury taste. Add 1 cup milk and slightly increase heat. When it starts to add 1 - 2 cup(s) cheese, depending on how cheesy you want it. Stir until melted. Add a little salt and pepper and pour over cooked broccoli. Or you can place frozen broccoli in a casserole, top with cheese sauce and bake until broccoli heated through. Have fun experimenting!
Steam your Broccoli and then just sprinkle some grated Parmesan over it... mmm....
