I wanted Asparagus with some flavour tonight so introducing my latest creation. This was tonight's side dish with Teriyaki Sesame Chicken and it turned out lovely!
Lemony Herb Asparagus
-----------------------------
Wash fresh asparagus and trim ends off. Get a skillet nice and hot and spray with a bit of cooking spray. Toss in a pat of butter and cook asparagus on medium, turning frequently until they're soft. Put some salt, pepper and other seasoning on them as well. We use Mrs. Dash original.
Once the butter starts to turn brown, add a little dash of chicken stock from a tetra. Not enough to saturate the asparagus spears but enough to get the spices up and off the bottom of the pan and continue turning the asparagus. Add a little more chicken stock a bit at a time throughout the cooking process to ensure the asparagus has moisture to cook in and simmer on low. Just before you're ready to serve, squeeze juice from a fresh lemon wedge on and toss before serving. The combination of lemons, herbs and moisture from the chicken stock creates a lovely lemony glaze.

My Creamy Cheesy Cauliflower Concoction
The more vegetables you can eat the better...this one is so yummy your kids might not even believe it's a vegetable! I found a cauliflower recipe originally in Better Homes & Gardens but lost it so between looking online, my memory of what was in it and through books and trial and error, came up with my own cauliflower concoction and it gets rave reviews every time. The original had homemade croutons in it too but I don't usually bother with those now.
Wash and clean your cauliflower and chop into little flowerets. Steam it until it's soft. You can do this on the stove or in the microwave but try to do it on the stove. Microwaves zap away the good stuff in my humble opinion.
Whisk together 1/3 cup of milk, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of real mayo and about half the mayo measure of regular or dijon mustard. Put in salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash (or another all spice) a few spoons of grated romano or parmasean and a few handfuls of whatever shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc) you like. Bake the cauliflower concoction until everything is bubbly and melted.
YUM!
