Steamed Asparagus, Peaches & Cream Corn and Carrots
Plain side dishes or vegetables are perfect for me!
Achieveing perfect asparagus is not difficult. Steaming for three minutes, until just tender when pierced with a fork, cooks it perfectly or you can just trust your nose. I find that when I start to smell the asparagus, it is cooked. Try it and see if it works for you.
In Canada, we have a brand of frozen corn niblets called Green Giant. They make two types of corn and we love the peaches and cream variety. It is the only brand that I buy because nothing else compares save, fresh corn in the summer and early fall! To cook corn, I find the easiest method to be the microwave oven. A small casserole dish filled with enough for six people takes about six minutes to cook in my microwave.
Previously, I would have added baby carrots to this recipe. However, what I have learned lately about how Baby Carrots are created so I will instead recommend carrot coins. (Regular carrots, peeled and sliced to be shaped like coins."
The Asparagus Festival Cookbook
This paperback cookbook retails on Amazon for just $5.95.
The write up for this book says that asparagus deserves a cult following and I agree. Asparagus is a very nutritious vegetable full of vitamins, minerals and fiber and lacking in sodium. Not only is it good for you but it is delicious, too and very easy to prepare.
Stockton California held its first ever Asparagus Festival in 1986 and thousands of asparagus fans showed up. The highlight, they say, was the tent called Asparagus Alley where you can EAT asparagus. The Asparagus Festival Cookbook shares some of the prize-winning recipes from the cook offs at the festival and retails from Amazon for just $5.95.

- a friend of mine has an apple tree in her front yard. every Easter, and some other holidays as well, the kids go pick a dozen apples in the morning. during the day, the ladies bake up a nice fresh apple pie, or two/three, to be eaten after dinner. they're usually sooo good. one year the apples were too sour though, still smelled delicious though.
