I misjudged asparagus!

Today's recipe is really easy.  In fact, it probably doesn't exactly qualify as a recipe.  It's rather just a way to prepare asparagus.  But it's a big deal to me, because I've always HATED asparagus.  Until yesterday, that is.  I still don't like canned asparagus, but fresh...that's an all together different matter. My daughter turned her nose up at it, but tried it.  And she liked it!  It was a slam dunk -- my whole family approved.

Put a little olive oil in your pan, toss in the spears, sprinkle on some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, and saute away.  Not too long though. And that's it.  Nothing could be easier and it's very tasty.  My niece recommended to squeeze a little lemon juice on there as well.  I haven't tried that yet, but I plan to, just as soon as I can get my hands on some more fresh asparagus. 

So, even if you aren't an asparagus fan, give this a try. You might just find you'll change your mind and find asparagus making an appearance on your menu.

Happy cooking, everyone!  Have a blessed weekend.
