We have a ton of asparagus and zucchini to use, so I decided my main recipe would be an asparagus recipe. I also had to choose something I had the ingredients for as Tuesday is my normal grocery shopping day and this past Tuesday I was stuck at home due to an April winter storm. So my choice was between the Asparagus Bundles and Wilted Spinach and Asparagus Salad. I finally chose the bundles because everything tastes great with bacon!! ;-)
The chicken is simply chicken breasts marinade in Tastefully Simple's 29 minute citrus marinade. That was a product from last summer and it is a lovely one. I will be sorry when I am out of it and can't get any more.
The Rice today is Jasmine rice. It cooks fairly quickly and has a lovely aroma and taste.
So the main event: Asparagus Bundles:
This recipe is from the food network.
It will open in a new window so you can come back to my blog if you like.
Now, I did do some tweaking to it. The recipe calls for garlic salt and I do not ever use garlic salt. I use Tastefully Simple's Garlic Garlic.
Also I use Tamari soy sauce because it is wheat free. I try to keep my wheat intake to a minimum and as I like the occasional baked good, I try not to have wheat when I don't need to.
It was a little tedious to wrap the bacon around the asparagus, but it was soooo worth it. Yum!! I think this recipe is a keeper!
Now for the bonus recipe:
Wilted Spinach and Asparagus Salad
I am sorry I do not have a picture of it. The website didn't have a picture either. And since I didn't make it... well... no photo. But the recipe can be found here. This is going to be on our lunch table on Saturday, I think. Maybe with some eggs.
So with that, I will leave you to go ahead and try these recipes for yourself. Enjoy!
