Notes

Frozen vs. Fresh:  While we prefer fresh, you can absolutely use frozen and just add the frozen florets to the hot pan.  Because of the moisture that will be released from the frozen florets, you will only need about 1/4 cup of stock and cook for an additional minute or two. 
Customize:  Add more onion powder.  Less garlic.  Or add some red pepper flakes for a little heat!
