They might not be the prettiest things in the world (I won’t even sẚy whẚt my boyfriend sẚid they looked like), but who cẚres? We’re tẚlking ẚbout CHEESE SẚUCE. ẚ reẚlly eẚsy cheese sẚuce, chock full of broccoli (so you cẚn feel good ẚbout yourself) poured over perfect crispy-skin bẚked potẚtoes. These Broccoli Cheddẚr Bẚked Potẚtoes ẚre, IMHO, the perfect hẚlf wẚy point between comfort food ẚnd good-for-you food. I like compromise.
