Lemon Roasted Asparagus

Vegetarian

I love making asparagus as it is so easy to prepare and use for so much. I usually make Parmesan Roasted Asparagus and it always comes out perfect but asparagus is one of my husband’s favorite sides and when he came home from the store with a big batch of fresh asparagus and some lemons, I knew exactly what he was looking for. Lemon is a great summer fruit because it gives a freshness to everything and it goes perfectly with garlic so you know that this is a match. This is a great summer side for any meal.  Continue reading “Lemon Roasted Asparagus”

Tomato Alfredo Ziti Bake

Vegetarian

Well after a nice week in Florida, it’s back to business! I’m coming to you today after starting a new job so super easy dinners with no prep are really in my wheelhouse right now. This is a beyond easy recipe. It’s literally boiling and mixing. You can use canned sauce for this if you want but I make my own and I found it really makes the flavor incredible. If you spend some free time on a weekend making a batch of each sauce, all you need to do it boil and bake! You can find my Alfredo recipe here and my homemade sauce recipe here. This also reheats really well so if you need something to last a few days for leftovers, this is perfect!  Continue reading “Tomato Alfredo Ziti Bake”
