Roasted Asparagus

I got this recipe off of Kitchen Boss, it looked so good I just had to make it! :) The original recipe can be found here.

Roasted Asparagus

1 lb medium stalk Asparagus

abt. 1 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Sea Salt

1/4 cup Bread Crumbs

Fresh Parmesan for Grating (I just used dried parm. and I'm sure it would be a lot better with fresh!)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in the middle. Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. One Spear at a time, snap off the bottoms of each stalk where it wants to break naturally. Lay the asparagus on a sheet pan with enough extra virgin olive oil just enough to coat and a generous pinch of salt and toss to coat. Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly across the spears and put the tray in the oven to toast for 7-10 minutes, when the bread crumbs are golden brown. Grate Parmesan over the asparagus.

Hobo Dinners

This is a really simple meal that is really good and has lots of veggies!

1lb ground beef (I use less b/c I don't like a ton of meat in mine)

1 can french style green beans

1 c. frozen white corn or 1 can corn

3 or 4 carrots, peeled and sliced

2 or 3 potatoes, peeled and sliced/cubed

onion powder

garlic salt

salt and pepper

2 TBS butter

Get 2 big pieces of tin foil ( like 16 in.) divide meat and veggies onto each one. For my hubby I shape the ground beef into a patty and for me I break it into small pieces and just mix it all in with the veggies. I usually boil the potatoes and carrots for a few minutes because they take while to cook otherwise. Put a TBS of butter in each one. Salt, pepper and flavor w/ just a little bit of onion powder and garlic salt. You don't want too put to much and I usually just add some salt afterwards cuz you can always add more, but you can't take it out!! :) fold the tin foil over so it is sealed and place on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven at 475 degrees for 10 minutes then flip and cook it for an additional 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are all soft and the meat is cooked through!

My menu plans are a lot different these days, but if you are looking for some really simple dinner ideas, quick and easy dinners are all I am doing these days (and probably for the next few months!) I thought I'd post my weekly menus and when I can I will post a recipe if I don't have it on my blog yet! Slowly but surely I'll get better. Sorry my blog is pretty lame, but hopefully you'll enjoy the recipes already on here and I can't wait to start cooking and sharing again!

My Story

Sorry that I dropped off the face of the planet!!! :) If you'd like to read my story I wrote about what is going on and why I have been gone for so long here on my family blog. It isn't written well because I still am having a hard time thinking straight and it's hard for me to put a sentence together. The bad news is I'm still not cooking (hopefully soon!!) but the good news is, I am pregnant with a little boy and the sickness will be over at some point. Then I will be able to get back to cooking and blogging! :)
