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!

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!

SUMMER SPAGHETTI SALAD It's a beautiful Sunday in Minnesota!  60 degrees for the first time since October!  Still snow on the ground, but everyone is getting out of the house and firing up the grills and making summer-like foods.  This is an old classic from my sister.  Usually, I use spaghetti noodles, but today tried linguine noodles.  Also added ranch seasoning, something new.  It's a nice refreshing pasta salad.
