Spring Time Favorite Snack
Right now asparagus is at $1.48 per pound. Cutting off the first several inches of the end of the stalk as it is purchased is a good idea as that has been sitting in water at the grocery store. Enjoying it raw dipped in fat free Blue Cheese Dressing is fantastic as a powerhouse snack. Generally the first five inches of the head of the stalk is the most tender. The remaining can be steamed and enjoyed with a meal. Tupperware has a good crisper and it will keep for a week. -

Dennis and I love egg salad sandwiches or…
Dennis and I love egg salad sandwiches or even having some ready for adding to a lettuce salad. What spoils it is when the eggs are impossible to peel. Here is a tip that has worked 100% of the time for me. When the eggs are put on to boil I add a splash of white vinegar to the water. When the water and eggs come into a full boil, just remove from the heat and cover the saucepan for about 20 minutes. Cool down with cold water running over them. With this tip there is no longer a chance of the shells coming off in a million pieces. Priceless!
