Well the rain has finally slowed down, but it's windy and cooler outside. Looking up and down our
street this morning, as I went to fetch the morning papers, all the Crab Trees are in full bloom and beautiful! Started my day off with some Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, a slice of Buttered Klosterman Wheat Bread, and a cup of fresh brewed Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Now I'm ready for the day! Pulled both cars out of the driveway and swept it and gave it a good washing down, looking a lot better. The sod I put down along the driveway looks great and is nice and green. Plus it solved our drainage problems. Made a full meal tonight, especially for Mom and Dad. I prepared Panko Crusted Cubed Pork Steak w/ Scalloped Potato Casserole and Roasted Asparagus.
I prepared a box of Idahoan Scalloped Potato Casserole. Another easy to prepare and delicious dish. A breeze to make just mix the ingredients and bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes and you have some delicious Scalloped Potatoes. Plus their only 160 calories and 20 carbs.
Then to prepare the Asparagus I just needed Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cloves Garlic (minced), Sea Salt, Freshly grated Black Pepper, Lemon Juice, and Shredded Parmesan Cheese. Rinse clean the asparagus. Break the tough ends off of the asparagus and discard. Lay the asparagus spears out in a
single layer in a baking dish or a foil-covered roasting pan. Drizzle olive oil over the spears, roll the asparagus back and forth until they are all covered with a thin layer of olive oil. (Alternatively you can put the asparagus and oil in a plastic bag, and rub the bag so that the oil gets evenly distributed.) Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub over the asparagus so that they are evenly seasoned. Place pan in oven and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus spears are, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice and shredded Parm Cheese before serving. It's our favorite Asparagus recipe. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
