Asparagus.


One of the new veggies we have tried is Asparagus. Hubby = Thumbs Up. Kids = Thumbs Down LOL!!!

I have cooked it 3 different ways:

- On a baking sheet just a little salt and pepper and cook on 350* until tender.....about 10 minutes.

- Same as above but add some Olive Oil.

- In a pot of water steam....add salt and pepper and a little butter.

For My Friend.......

.....I have this friend who tells me often that I should write a cook book :) Umm sounds like a lot of work.....a blog will have to do lol!!!

I've fallen in love with cooking for my family. Trying new things. Broadening our veggies of choice. I am also not afraid to change a recipe or put 2 recipes together to change them into something new.

The catch to this blog......we have changed our diet to vegetarian :) If Vegetarian isn't your thing, this blog will not be of interest to you.

Why Vegetarian?
After watching Food Inc & Food Matters we began researching the Vegetarian Diet, and it just clicked for us, this is the change we have been looking for :) I highly recommend those 2 documentaries!!

Most recipes will probably fall into the category of Lacto-Ovo.....meaning we eat (organic) Dairy and still will eat our Chicken Eggs :)
