Sweet and Salty Asparagus

I love asparagus but it isn't something I ate growing up so I really had no experience in cooking it until the last few years.  We've eaten this veggie a few different ways, but after trying this recipe we rarely make it any other way.  It's really quick to prepare and so yummy with the sweet and salty combo.  You've got to try this.  I'm telling you guys, I've even seen people who say they don't like asparagus go back for seconds.  If that's not a testimonial to its goodness I don't know what is!










Sweet and Salty Asparagus
slightly modified from Favorite Family Recipes

 Ingredients:
1 Lb. asparagus (or just one of those bundles you get at the store)
4 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. sugar
salt

Instructions:
Rinse and snap off the bottoms of each asparagus stalk (discard the bottoms). Melt butter in a large skillet and add asparagus. Sprinkle sugar over top of the asparagus. Sautee over medium-high heat until the asparagus beings to blister and is to your doneness (if you like it on the softer side, sautee it longer). Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
