Friday Foodie: An Asparagus Minute
Fall and spring are the best times to enjoy asparagus and so I thought I would share with you a simple way to rid the spear of the woody, chewy ends. This works without fail, and though may seem wasteful, it’s no more wasteful than leaving the uneaten portion on your plate. You’re just getting rid of it ahead of time! I’ve also included a simple recipe you can try with these delicious green spears. Enjoy!
