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.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! 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. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima...
