This asparagus recipe is by far the easiest, most delicious, and healthiest side you can make. My kiddos call them green French Fries and devour them by the handful. Asparagus is a great way to get your vitamin K and folic acid. Eating asparagus also supports heart health and healthy digestion. Parmesan Roasted Asparagus is super simple to make and only requires three ingredients.

Ingredients:

Fresh asparagus
Fresh parmesan (freshly grated)
Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

Take the fresh asparagus and break or cut off the bottom, woody portion of the stem. Toss with olive oil and place on baking sheet. Spread asparagus uniformly in even layer on baking sheet. Grate about 1/2 cup of fresh parmesan on top of the asparagus. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 400F for about 15-20 minutes. If you eat them with your fingers (like my kiddos do), allow them to cool before serving. Serve with your favorite steak - yum!

Stop the Grocery Store Monster - Effective Ways to Cut Food Costs

After major expenses, like the mortgage and daycare, it feels like grocery bills are an out of control monster eating away at the budget.  Every day, every week, every month, the groceries seem to take over.  It never feels like there is enough food or at least not the right kind of food in the pantry or fridge.  Sometimes, even good food goes to waste when there isn't time to prepare and cook it.  Here are some of the ways I've have been able to curb food costs while maintaining my sanity. Store Brands I rarely buy branded items.  It used to be that branded items were superior or higher quality.  That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.  Oftentimes, the store brands are just as good or indistinguishable from the name brands.  I have also had good experiences at stores that stock primarily store brands, like Aldi and Trader Joes.  As with any...

Stop the Grocery Store Monster Part 2 - Effective Ways to Use the Groceries You Already Buy

Image
In my first installment of Stop the Grocery Store Monster - Effective Ways to Cut Food Costs , I discussed some of my tips for keeping food costs under control when grocery shopping. In this installment, I discuss ways to effectively use the food you already buy and keeping food costs in check by purchasing the correct items. Shredded Cheese I rarely buy shredded cheese because the price per pound is too high. I also learned that they add starch to shredded cheese as a preservative. With some family members subscribing to a Keto-friendly diet, we prefer to make our own shredded cheese. But, frankly, who has the time and arm strength to shred a block of cheese? Therefore, I cut blocks of cheese into smaller cubes and shred them in the food processor. I pulse the food processor several times until the blocks of cheese are broken down and then place the shredded cheese in a re-sealable bag to be used throughout the week. Voila - shredded cheese at a fraction of the price with...
