Simply perfect! It's amazing how delicious asparagus can be with just a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. I got my water boiling and then placed my steaming basket with asparagus over top. I covered the asparagus and steamed for about 4 to 5 minutes. I had asparagus that was just the right thickness, so it didn't take too long at all to cook. -
Tasty, quick and healthy! Great proof you don't need to go overboard on seasonings with fresh produce. -
Simple and tasty. Steamed in the microwave. Served with recipe #162686. -

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
