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.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

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!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
