Fancy-looking Asparagus

It's been a while since the last "new" recipe post. That might lead one to think "oh, she's just not made any new recipes lately." One would be wrong. I haven't made ANYTHING lately. Yes, my poor suffering husband has been living off of hot dogs and canned soup for the last month and a half. Luckily my son loves "peanut-jelly-samish."

And I have no excuse.

Even today I bring you no new recipe. In fact, it's not much of a recipe at all. I just took a picture of our side dish from last night's dinner because it looked pretty.

When a side dish recipe calls for over 5 ingredients and takes longer than 30 minutes to cook, it's not a side dish. It is the main dish. Next time you're in a pinch and you really want to impress your company, try this:

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch of Asparagus
Spoonful of butter
Splash of lemon juice
Small handful of sliced almonds

How is that for precise measurements??
DIRECTIONS

Steam the asparagus. Put into a bowl and top with butter. Let it melt and add a squirt of lemon juice. Toss almonds on top. Ta da!!

VERDICT

Yeah, yeah, I know that was a lame recipe. But I needed something to fill the page while I worked on a "real" new recipe.
