Lemon Garlic Asparagus

Lemon Garlic Asparagus*
Ingredients:
1 bunch asparagus washed and
2 tablespoons R1 approved oil**
minced garlic or cloves to taste
lemon juice to taste
lemon peel
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
1)Break off woody ends of asparagus
2) place in pan for roasting
3) Drizzle oil over
4) sprinkle minced garlic or garlic cloves to your taste on top
5) shake lemon peel on
6) salt and pepper to taste

7) Roast at 400 15-20 min or till desired tenderness.
8) Drizzle w lemon juice to taste


Notes:
1) I use 1-2T oil depending on how many servings I want for an R1 meal. If I am eating ALL The asparagus in one meal, it's just 1T of oil. If Keith and I are splitting it or it's for 2 meals, I will add 2T of oil.
2)Based loosely on this recipe and she has some good alternative cooking suggestions/ideas.
3)You could easily add in a chicken breast and bake it with it, for a one pan meal.
4) click the link to the lemon peel in the ingredient list. it's one of my fave cooking hacks lol bc i don't got time for all this fresh lemon nonsense haha

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...
