Fresh Broiled Asparagus

So it's been a really long time....I'm sorry.....life just happens to get in my unmotivated way. But with spring, I tend to want to cook/bake more.  I also went grocery shopping for the first time in 4 months.  Having food in the house helps too.

So here we are.  I made steak with this asparagus tonight.  I ate the whole daggone bunch! That's going to be fun later. (in case you didn't know)

You'll need
Fresh Asparagus
Olive Oil
3 Sun dried tomatoes in oil
2-3 tbsp of Tastefully simple's Tuscan dipping mix
1 tbsp chopped garlic
goat cheese
a little water.





First- take your dipping mix and mix it with a little water.  You could also put it right in the olive oil if you have time to let the mix sit in the oil to infuse.  If not, use water, to break it up and release the flavors.





Then add about 3-4 tbsp of olive oil to a bowl.  Chop and add sun dried tomatoes to the oil.


 Then add the chopped garlic to the olive oil and tomatoes.  Mix and let sit for at least 5 minutes.  Then add your tuscany dip mix and mix well.



Then clean and prep your asparagus.  Rinse and break (don't cut) your asparagus.  Gently apply pressure to the bottom of the asparagus.  It will break naturally.


Then take your asparagus and dip/spread it liberally and thoroughly over the asparagus and lay it on a lined baking sheet.



Place under broiler for 10-15 min or until desired doneness.  1/2 way through, crumble the goat cheese over the asparagus.





Eat all gone. 


I'm going to try and post at least weekly from here on out!
