SIMPLE SAUTEED ASPARAGUS

 My brother taught me how to cook asparagus like this.  I almost always use this recipe because it's simple, quick and delicious.

 Ingredients:

 Asparagus
Minced Garlic
Butter
Salt
Pepper

 Instructions:

 1. Melt butter in a pan.  Add minced garlic (approx 1 tbsp).

2. Add trimmed & cleaned asparagus.  To trim, take each spear in hand and place gentle pressure on the end (about 1/3 way up).  Let the spear decide where it wants to break.


3. Saute on medium high heat about five minutes.  You will know it's done when it's bright green.  Serve immediately.  It's still good if it sits, it just looks more wilted and the bright green goes away.


SIMPLE, yet DELICIOUS!

HAMBURGER GRAVY Being a gloomy Saturday, Jesse & I were too lazy to go out to the grocery store, so had to come up with a dinner with what we had on hand.  This is a favorite and is made often in our household.  So easy to make, but very tasty.  I never make this recipe the same way twice because I use whatever I have on hand.  The basics are ground beef, browned with onions and minced garlic.  Add some kind of liquid: beef broth, milk, cream of mushroom (with milk added), etc. Get it simmering and add a thickening agent.  This time we had no beef broth or bouillon, so used a brown gravy packet mixed with water and added a little chicken broth to that.  Also added some milk.  When you use just broth, it is a lighter gravy.  If you add milk and/or cream of mushroom, it is a little creamier.  You can even add a little sour cream and make it a little more like stroganoff.  Serve over egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, toast or ...

FIRE CRACKERS I got the recipe from here:  http://www.food.com/recipe/fire-crackers-423316 1 lb unsalted saltine crackers (4 sleeves) 1 cup canola oil 1 (1 oz) package ranch dressing mix 2 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Line crackers on ends (like dominoes) in an air-tight container. In a small bowl, mix oil, dressing mix, peppers and garlic powder.  Stir until ingredients are well mixed.  Continue to stir to prevent the peppers from settling on the bottom of the bowl. Spoon mixture over crackers, like drizzling icing on a cake. Close lid tightly and flip the container over every 5 minutes for 20 minutes.  Lightly shake back and forth to make sure all the crackers are coated.  Store in a Ziploc bag.  Will keep for about a week. Pretty tasty!  Jaqi & Jesse like them too!

Jesse & have been married for 19 years and counting and have lived together for 22 years now.  We were 18 & 20 years old when we started out and learned a lot about life, love and other things along the way.  We have two kids - Jaqi, age 18 and JJ (Jesse Jr.), age 15. We live in central Minnesota, about an hours drive north of the Twin Cities.  We have a dog named Kirby (after the great Kirby Puckett).  We have a large extended family that lives close so lots of family coming around or us going to family functions.
