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!

PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIE BARS My mother always put peanut butter into her Rice Krispie bars. When I made them when I was older I had to guess each time how much.  I finally figured out what worked and wrote it down so it wasn't a guessing game. People compliment me on these all the time when I bring them places.  They are not as cloyingly sweet as some Rice Krispie bars can be.  First, I always use the original Kellogg's Rice Krispie bar recipe, never a generic version.  The other versions tend to have the same amount of marshmallows, more butter,  but less rice krispies making them sweeter (to me, anyway).  I don't care what brand of rice krispies I use, I buy whatever is cheapest, but it has to be the original Kellogg recipe.  Second, I always add the peanut butter. They are just so much better that way! Because of the peanut butter, when I bring them places, I always tell people there is peanut butter in them (or label them) becaus...

CHICKEN ALFREDO BAKED ZITI We were going to visit relatives at their lake place and they wanted pasta for dinner, like Alfredo.  Jesse said I make really good red sauces, but have never made a great white sauce.  I kind of agreed - it just wasn't something I did often because when I had it wasn't really special enough to stand out. Never to be discouraged, I did a little research and found some recipes for Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti.  Using ziti in a casserole version fit our purposes, rather than fettuccine with Alfredo sauce.  Using ideas from two pins  (see Pinspirations at bottom) , I created my own .  I made each component and stored them separately  overnight.  In the morning I layered them in a cake pan and packed them in the cooler to be made that evening in the oven. It was AWESOME!  They were all impressed, especially Jesse.  He's never been a huge fan of chicken or Alfredo because it tends to be bla...
