Asparagus has recently become one of my favorite vegetables. It tastes great, but what I love most about it is how easy it is to prepare. I sauté mine in a little toasted sesame oil, which is probably my favorite oil for sautéing.

I'd be the first one to tell you that I have an addiction to asparagus. I'm not sure why - my husband hates it, but I just love the stuff! And this has become one of my favorite ways to eat it.

Asparagus is my favorite veggie, but my finicky boyfriend can't stand it. The only way he'll eat it is wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with Swiss cheese sauce, a recipe which his old roommate came up with.
They're yummy and easy
INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch asparagus
1/4 lb prosciutto
1/4 cup milk
4 slices Swiss cheese
salt, pepper
1 tbsp butter
PREPARATION:
Prepare asparagus however you prefer (I always steam it).

Went to Cost Co this weekend and they had the most amazing asparagus so I bought a package. Ate some with steak on Monday but last night I made the tart below for a get together with the girls. It was pretty amazing and received rave reviews.

I tried this recipe last week, converting one from allrecipes.com into something I would actually eat, and here's what I came up with! For those of you who like asparagus and red pepper, this is absolutely delicious! I made sandwiches both on Saturday and Sunday - couldn't help myself!

If you've never tried salmon with lime, you should! It's a great flavor pairing and one that I really enjoy. I used to have a recipe for Salmon with lemon and limes, but somehow, I seem to have lost the recipe.
