Yum! Yum! Yum!

Asparagus is another vegetable like Broccoli, first you will have all the aversion to it, but once you start eating and used to it, it can become your new addiction. When it is healthy addiction, i don't mind at all, do you? This long stick looking like vegetable is so tender, cooks easily  and cooks super fast. Usually I make stir-fry with it or use in Omelets or use it in Pastas or simply grill it for an evening snack.  Asparagus tastes at it's best when it is grilled or baked, all you have to do is sprinkle some salt and drizzle some olive oil and bake/grill these at 400 F for 5 to 10 min. Oh, they turn into tender and melt in mouth power snack that you can keep on munching with out any guilt! Here is the recipe, Njoy!
