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!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
