Friday Foodie Fix –Asparagus

Friday Foodie Fix

Spring is here and along with it comes a new crop of asparagus.  This week our Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is asparagusAsparagus is one of the most nutritionally well-balanced vegetables. It leads nearly all produce items in the wide array of nutrients it supplies in significant amounts for a healthy diet.  A 5.3 ounce serving is only 20 calories, contains no fat or cholesterol, is very low in sodium, has 3 grams of fiber and provides 60% of the recommended daily allowance for folacin which is necessary for blood cell formation, growth, and prevention of liver disease.

Asparagus is not something I ate as a kid or even a young adult.  It’s only been in the last 10 years or so that I’ve developed a liking for it.  At first, I would only eat it with hollandaise sauce but now I’m more adventurous.   My husband will only eat it if I sauté it in olive oil with course sea salt and minced garlic or roast it in the oven with the same seasonings.  I need your help to come up with more options for asparagus.

Please use Mr. Linky to link to your post on asparagus.  If you don’t have a blog, please leave your recipe in the comments.  If you know of other blogs with great asparagus recipes, please ask them to share their recipes here too.  Review the rules here.

Next week’s Secret Ingredient is …………………Strawberries!
