I hope you all had a great weekend! For the Moms, hope you all had a great day! My wee one turned 12 on Saturday! When she was born, she came home on Mother’s Day, which was my greatest gift, ever!  She is my baby and I can’t get over how fast it goes! We had a small family gathering and we had her favorites:

 Baked Parmesan Chicken Tenders  Honey Mustard Sauce 

 Lightened Up Mac and Cheese,

 Easy Greek Chicken Salad

Detox Blueberry Lemon Ginger Iced Tea

Yum! For the record, we had the Greek Salad minus the Chicken, super delicious.  For dessert, Deirdre wanted vanilla cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream frosting. They were eaten so fast, I never got a photo, so I have to make them again and share the recipe! Oh the problems I have to endure! This is one of those comfort meals that my whole family loves!

Tips to make Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic:

  • It takes about 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes in a 400 degree oven!
  • If using large asparagi, peel the the stalks with a vegetable peeler, reduces toughness.
  • Thin asparagus, no need to peel.
  • If using White Asparagus, peel them as they are usually thick and peeling reduces toughness.

Awesome menu picks by my sweet Deirdre! We have a tradition for the kids during birthday week, they get to pick their favorite meals to eat during their birthday week!  One of her favorite side dishes is Roasted Asparagus with Lemon and Garlic!  So super easy to prepare ! ! Such a tasty side dish.  The lemon adds a perfect amount of flavor to compliment the asparagus. Then there is the garlic, I need say nothing more! I think I need a snack right now!

  1. I am not a fan of asparagus, but honestly seeing your pictures and reading your recipe makes me want to try this one!!! Also, I think it’s so cool that your daughter came home ON mother’s day! What a gift.

  3. PERFECT combo for asparagus. I’m guilty of munching on my asparagus before it ever hits the sheet pan… so if I have any leftover, I’ll be making this!

  16. You’re going to laugh, I think, but the ONE time I had asparagus, my brother-in-law said he wanted to treat us to a special meal. He was excited about getting a new smoker. I LOVE smoked fish, cheese, sausages … oh, yea. So he was going to smoke asparagus and chicken breasts. Sounds good, right?

    He used spruce sticks from his back yard. Spruce. I was six months pregnant and gagged down overly-smokey, spruce-flavoured asparagus and chicken, or as much as I could stomach.

    It’s been almost nine years …. I really should get up the courage to try asparagus that hasn’t been smoked in spruce, right? Lemon and garlic sound absolutely perfect!
