Broccoli Cauliflower Bake

No deception needed, this was delicious! Heather had several servings, and enjoyed it for lunch too! We all loved this recipe, and I will be making it again soon. I thought just the broccoli and cauliflower would not be as substantial as I would like for dinner, so I made some rice to go with it. Yum!

Oh, and once again, sorry about the gross looking photo. What you see pictured there, is the leftovers. I promise it is much better than it looks in the photo. Someday I'll get my act together...
