I have one favorite food. It’s slightly ridiculous, but sour cream potatoes are my absolute favorite! I could literally eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I think the best part of this recipe is that I tossed the broccoli in the little marinade and threw it in the oven. It was that easy! It came out smelling and tasting so delicious. Everyone ate it, which was huge because sometimes my littles don’t love broccoli.

This is the perfect and easiest side dish for any meal. Plus, if you are like us with endless dieting, you are always looking for a way to switch up the same old greens in your meals.
