Water fights and asparagus...its starting to feel like childhood. YESSSSSS!

Exercise: Water gun fight with kids ( yours, the neighborhoods, niece/ nephews, etc....) for 35 minutes
I know we're all worried about our hair ( I'm not, its nappy now and it will be after the water fight) but with a scarf and shower cap this can be avoided...or go au natturale... Just a thought
You can loose upwards of 350 calories

Recipes!

This is not your mama's asparagus recipes...well actually it is. My mom makes a mean Asparagus anything though... but whatever!!!

• 1 lb asparagus
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon regular table salt)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Cut off the woody bottom part of the asparagus spears and discard.

3. With a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin on the bottom 2-3 inches of the spears (this keeps the asparagus from being all "stringy" and if you eat asparagus you know what I mean by that).

4. Place asparagus on foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.

5. Sprinkle with salt.

6. With your hands, roll the asparagus around until they are evenly coated with oil and salt.

7. Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your stalks and how tender you like them.

8. They should be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.

9. The tips of the spears will get very brown but watch them to prevent burning.

10. They are great plain, but sometimes I serve them with a light vinaigrette if we need something acidic to balance out our meal.
