Thanks to working from home the other day with no meetings or calls to attend, I caught a show I've never seen before: Rachael Ray. I could basically smell this dish through the TV. I added tons of veggies, changed some of the proportions and added extra, extra lemon and wow, you have one of the best weeknight one-pot wonders I've ever made.

These non-tater broccoli tots are so decadent, you'll feel guilty; but so healthy, you won't!
