🧀 Broccoli with Cheese Sauce (comfort mode)
Steam broccoli until just tender.
Melt butter → whisk in flour → slowly add milk → melt in cheddar → pour generously. No shame.

Thin-slice broccoli, toss with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper. Add almonds, parmesan, or raisins if you’re feeling fancy.
