Foodie Friday [Roasted Asparagus]

I've recently found that I like asparagus.  I never had it growing up because my mom didn't like the taste.  Fortunately, my husband has always liked asparagus and even my kids tolerate it enough to eat a stalk.  Here's our favorite way to make asparagus.

Roasted Asparagus PRINT Ingredients: 1 lb asparagus (washed and trimmed) 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste Parmesan cheese Directions: Preheat oven to 400￮ Place asparagus in a large pan lined up so they aren’t overlapping Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt & pepper Sprinkle cheese over asparagus Cook for 15 minutes Recipe by Chrissy @ Loving Life http://lovinglife27.blogspot.com/2013/03/roasted-asparagus.html

Avocado Egg Salad

I've been on an avocado kick lately.  I love Hass avocados!  I'm finding all types of dishes to add avocados too.  I'm also Catholic and this is Lent so that means no meat on Fridays until Easter.  This Avocado Egg Salad is a perfect, sandwich alternative.

Avocado Egg Salad PRINT Ingredients: 4 hard-boiled eggs, cubed 2 Hass avocados, cubed 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 tablespoon plain yogurt 1 teaspoon lime juice ½ teaspoon paprika Garlic powder to taste Onion powder to taste Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Add avocados and lime juice to a medium bowl and mix. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl of avocados and gently stir until combined. Serve immediately or chill first.
