25 Tasty Recipes Featuring Asparagus

Last month we visited a restaurant and Hubby ordered cedar plank salmon topped with asparagus.  The asparagus was the saddest lil' asparagus I've ever seen.  It was overcooked, dipped in some kinda oil and such a disappointment.

Asparagus is one of our favorite veggies.  It's packed full of vitamins K, C, A and folate and can be sauteed, steamed, grilled, broiled or boiled. Asparagus has a rather distinct taste - sort of a cross between green beans and broccoli.  

In my search to find new and tasty ways to prepare asparagus I found lots of recipes online and I am so excited to share them with you.  

Here are 25 recipes sure to delight your tastebuds.

I did not know that there was so many ways to make asparagus. It is one of the newest vegetables that I am trying. I never used to like it, but now it is growing on me and this will definitely help out with recipe ideas.

Asparagus has never been one of my favorite vegetables. If it wasn't covered in cheese I never made it. Will be giving some of your recipes a try and changing our minds about asparagus.

Asparagus has such a lovely flavour to it, but I never know what to do with it, so this is a great post - I shall experiment away.

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip.

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
