New Recipe: Roasted Broccoli with Gremolata

As someone who usually blogs daily, it's so strange when things happen that keep you from your usual tasks.  While I usually try to keep this place pretty upbeat, I always try to keep it real as well. The reality is that MIGRAINES have struck your NTTC blogger. 

I'll spare you the ugly details, but let's just say....  Migraines are pretty much the worst. After not having one for about 4-5 years, I had forgotten how useless (and debilitating) they are!  All that being said, I'm hoping to be on the mend and back in my regular blogging rotation, starting with today's recipe.  I've got lots to say afterall and 15 lbs to lose!

Today's recipe is a super-simple one with one of my favorite ingredients - - broccoli!  I made the recipe with the broccoli I had in the fridge, as opposed to the full 3 cups of broccoli.  I did make the full gremolata recipe for extra flavor because I had that huge head of parsley, and I added an extra garlic clove... well, because that's just who I am!
