Roasted Asparagus

Courtesy of Barefoot Contessa

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh asparagus
Good olive oil
Kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

Why this blog came about...

There are a lot of things that I like to do in this world, one of them is cooking. I have numerous cookbooks in my pantry, wishing for me to open them up. A lot of my recipes come from The Food Network and their amazing cooks. I tend to love the ones with lots of butter!

Whenever watching the movie "Julie and Julia", I loved the idea of a recipe blog. I was not too fond on half of the recipes she made or the cookbook she used, but the idea, I loved. While watching the movie my husband said, "You should do that". A few months after that movie, my sister in law, Megan, created a recipe blog, and I just loved it. *You can find a link to her blog below.*

So...here is my recipe blog to share with the world. If I see something sweet on TV that I want to cook up, I make it and try them out on the family. Some of them are instant hits (the ones I post on here) and some are misses. But each one is a lot of fun!

Here is "A Little Bit of Home" and all in between. I hope these recipes bring your tummy and family as much joy as it did to ours.

As Julia Child would always say...

"Bon Appetite!"

Note:

Some of these recipes come from great masterminds like Martha Stewart, Emeril, or many other Food Network chefs. Others are from the kitchens of friends and family. I have complied anything and everything your tummy desires!
