ASPARAGUS SIDE

Asparagus is one of the few vegetables that my kids love so we cook it all the time for dinner around here. This one has a little kick to make it unique.

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS

There are different ways to cook asparagus. In this recipe, the asparagus is sauteed in a pan until tender. That’s usually the way I cook them because it’s fast.

For a different version you can roast the asparagus. It gives it a different flavor. I usually toss in olive oil and roast for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees until tender.

Hey Christy,
I have been meaning to leave a comment for you for a while because I use your food blog ALL of the time! I have used several of your recipes and have LOVED them all! Right now I am making the pretzel jello for sunday dinner, which has been one of my favorite recipes for a long time but reading your post reminded me about it and I have been craving it since. I make mine with raspberries but the strawberries are delicious too! Thanks for all the great recipes!
