Lemon Garlic Roasted Broccoli

I don't know about everyone else but I am sick and tired of this weather!  I know this is the traditional "NWI Winter" but come on, this is getting crazy.  Its March 4 and I am ready for some warmer weather and spring flowers.  So in honor of that thought I made a delicious light and flavorful broccoli the other day and it just tasted like summer.  I loved it and I think it will be my new "go to" broccoli side dish.  It has lemon and garlic (2 things I love) and some basil.  sounds good doesn't it?  I promise once you try this, you will be hooked on a new favorite.

Ugh  Ab check in….Mine HURT!!!!  35 second plank…Holy cow!  I am dreading the 50 crunches and leg lifts for tomorrow!!!  I barely got thru the 30 today.  But WE CAN DO THIS!!!  Just keep thinking about that bathing suit this summer!
