Asparagus

Tonight I grilled asparagus which until recently I had never tried. Now I'm hooked! I take fresh asparagus put it in a skillet with melted earth balance margarine and sprinkle with garlic salt, then cover and let it cook/steam for about 10 minutes. It's so good and good for you. Asparagus provides many beneficial nutrients like folic acid and antioxidants and is low in calories. Studies have shown that asparagus may help prevent cancer in organs lined with epithelial tissues.


I had a few stocks of asparagus left over so I'm gonna run them through the juicer tomorrow. I'm not sure if this will taste good but if not a couple apples thrown in masks any strong flavor when juicing.


If you've never tried grilled asparagus don't wait any longer. Go out and get some for dinner. Your body will thank you!
