lacking in flavor

Sorry, but my family really didn't care for this recipe. We didn't think the orange flavor complemented the broccoli at all.

This was very good. I used walnuts instead of almonds. I added 2 cloves of garlic.

Very good! I thought it might a real orange taste, but it was more sweet. I added 1/4 tsp ea. of garlic powder and seasoning salt
