The Wonderful Asparagus
January 16, 2012 
The humble asparagus.
Just a mention of it in a home with children under the age of 18 strikes fears in the hearts of the immature palate. It's difficult to defend the asparagus to children. They don't care that it's a good source of iron, magnesium and zinc. They don't care you can get a full day's requirement of fiber in a single serving
But those of us with mature intestinal tracts care about those things. And we have no qualms about eating them out of a can either.
Here's a few ways to use this under-touted vegetable.

Asparagus ice cream??? I think even the under-18 set would like that!!! Wonderful inspiring recipes..especially for someone who loves asparagus!!!
We eat asparagus in a creamy sauce with tortellini. Even our daughter (under 18) eats it.
But nothing is better than white asparagus - Germans LOVE white asparagus. It's only available for a few months, the much beloved asparagus season ("Spargelzeit"). The best ones you get at the farmers market. And then you cook them and eat them with potatoes, ham and sauce hollandaise - YUMMY!!!
