| THIS ASPARAGUS DISH IS FABULOUS! |
A simple post for a simple dish.
After trimming off the tough ends, I steamed the asparagus just long enough that it began to soften. While steaming the asparagus, I microwaved a pound of bacon by layering the strips between paper towels which makes this task easy and mess free. This process takes about 13 minutes to get crispy bacon. (Not all the bacon was used, but my men loved munching on the leftovers.)
The asparagus was drained and placed in a saute pan with about 2 Tablespoons bacon fat and a finely chopped 1/2 small onion. Salt and pepper are the simple seasonings used. After warming these ingredients for about 2 minutes, they were removed to a serving platter, topped with chopped crispy bacon, and drizzled with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
I had 5 tasters for this vegetable dish and all agreed that it was delicious and everyone had seconds. This asparagus with bits of crispy bacon would make a lovely side for a special Easter dinner.

| HONEY KNOWS HOW TO GET BEAUTIFUL |
Honey slipped away and found my mascara. She knows she is beautiful and wanted to show off her new look.
Happy Easter and Passover to everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Your asparagus turned out fab, and Honey looks gorgeous. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you included that priceless picture of Honey- too cute !! One time my brother and I got a hold of Nana's lipstick when we were very young and did some decorating ourselves :) Both Nana and I enjoyed this dish and plan to have it on Easter as well. She will cook. I will eat. Yay !!! Happy Holiday ~
ReplyDeleteOh, that Honey :-) Pictures like that make me sentimental about the days when my girls were that age.
ReplyDeleteYour dish looks good - and this asparagus was so good...
So, Krissy, you think Honey got a little wild with the mascara? That's how I look after I've had my way with my mascara!!! I've really never mastered mascara. What a doll. I about died when you said you threw in a pound of bacon. Thank you for adding that you didn't use it ALL in the asparagus dish. I think we all liked this recipe - what's not to like about aspargus. Have a wonderful Easter with your family. Mary

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute photo of Honey! :) Your asparagus looks so delicious, Kris.
ReplyDeleteYou asparagus looks gorgeous but doesn't come close to Honey!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Adorable photo of Honey! I didn't know we can crisp bacon in microwave. Neat trick, thanks Kris!
ReplyDeleteHoney does look beautiful, and so proud of her new look! I usually cook bacon in the microwave, but I did it in the skillet this time to get bacon fat for cooking the onion. How did you manage to do the bacon in the micro and still get bacon fat, or do you have a stash in the fridge? Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteHoney is adorable!!! Lucky you to have such a sweetheart in your life. I loved this, but I love bacon and asparagus so it was a no brainer. Happy belated Easter!
