Dill O'Clock...and broccoli can come too...

Anyone who knows me knows I love dill in every form. That is why for this post I took it upon myself to make some dillicious (haha get it, DILL-icious, because their good and made of dill...any way) creations and some broccoli cheese patties because I never say no to a recipe that calls for a cup and a half of cheese.

Behold the creations that solidify the reasons I am meant to be on planet earth.

Broccoli and Cheese Patties (or in my case mounds)

Ingredients

-3 Eggs
-Cup of cut up broccoli
-3/4 cup of broccoli
-Pinch of onion powder
-1 1/2 CUPS OF CHEESE :)

Instructions

Mix everything together in a  bowl. Make them into patty shapes (or mounds because you can't seem to make a patty and you don't want to talk about it anymore...). Place on non stick or greased tray, place in oven and cook those babies up for 25-30min. at 375F.

WARNING: I will not be responsible for the second butt you develop should you make these a daily snack.

Carrot and Dill Soup

Ingredients

-Carrots (I used a bag of shredded and half a bag of cut up baby carrots)
-1 large Potato (doesn't matter what kind)
-2 Table Spoons dill (if dry), 3 Tablespoons if fresh or in those liquid tubey things, or to taste
-3/4 cup of 2% milk
-3 1/2 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
-1 cup finely chopped onion
-2 Tablespoons Garlic (make it 1 if it's fresh)
-2 Tablespoons of oil (you pick the kind, I prefer olive)

Instructions

Peel, cut and boil your potato in slightly salted water. Once potato is tender enough to mash, drain and mash. Shred or dice carrots (if they are not already) and boil  in soup broth. Once carrots are tender, drain broth into separate bowl as you will be using this as your soup base. Mash your carrots up. While the carrots and potato are boiling you should be sauteing you onions, garlic and dill in oil. Now that everything is mashed and sauteed, mix your broth, milk and vegetable medley together in a pot; let boil for 5 minutes while stirring to avoid burning the milk. turn down temp, let sit for about 10 minutes and enjoy. You can add a bit of sour cream to your soup for garnish and extra taste.

...and I know, after reading those directions your wondering why I'm not a professional recipe writer.
