Fresh and Simple

Spring is here and the grocery is going to come alive with more fresh and LOCAL produce. Get ready!

Lemon Pepper Asparagus....

I see some blogs and some recipes that are using canned or frozen veggies. Of course, I know everyone has their reasons for using those forms of veggies. Personally, I try to purchase enough veggies each week to have at least one fresh veggie for every meal. They are so simple to prepare.

Above you see asparagus cut on a diagonal with just one thick slice of red onion cut into fourths. All I used was a little olive oil, lots of coarse black pepper, and right before I was ready to dish it out....Freshly squeezed 1/2 of one lemon all over it, oh the SIZZLE. Push it around until the lemon juice is gone. Plate them and top them with some fleur de sal. Perfection with those mock potatoes last night!

K-man loves asparagus and would eat it every night if possible! Speaking of which....

Today is my sweetheart's BIRTHDAY! Stay tuned tomorrow for the cake I made him!
