My lunch today: multi-grain pita pocket with crab meat, dill and small amount of lite mayo with a side of asparagus.
I make my asparagus by first breaking off the stalk close to the tip. I like to eat the most tender parts. Then I throw them into boiling water for about a minute. And lastly, I saute them in an olive oil misted pan with Lemon Pepper Mrs. Dash, dill and a little lemon juice. YUM! They are perfectly crisp tender and flavorful this way. If you aren't a fan of asparagus, I urge you to try this method. It's really divine. I eat an entire bundle by myself.
Asparagus is a natural diuretic and high in antioxidants. It's also a good source of vitamin A and C and rich in folate and fiber. It has circulation-boosting properties as well. So eat up!

i'd love to eat up asparagus charlotte but a bunch of asparagus retails for $2.50 for around 5 spears!! a bit expensive here. how much do you pay?
I am not quite sure what we pay here. I know it's cheaper in the summer. It's one of those things that I just buy because I like it and know that I'll eat it. $2.50 for 5 spears is insane!! I probably wouldn't buy it either! I don't think we even pay that much for a whole bundle! I'm curious though, I'm going to have to check next time I'm at the store.
