Baked Asparagus with Balsamic-Butter Sauce

August 20, 2012 by Jaida 1 Comment

Happy Monday, friends! This weekend flew by way too quickly, and I’m afraid that yesterday was a wasted day. As I get older, I am reminded that I can not drink and party the way I used to. My birthday was fantastic, but I paid dearly for it all day yesterday. Can you say, laid up on the couch all.day.long? I guess this 32-year-old body just can’t handle it’s liquor anymore! And to the friend who bought me that shot of tequila…we are in a fight right now. Ugh.
I think my kitchen is growing cobwebs. Well, not literally of course, but I feel like I haven’t cooked in forever. Today starts a new week, however, and I’ll be back on track, back in routine, and back in the kitchen! I have some great things on the menu that I can’t wait to try and share with you!  And to start the week off right, I have an amazing side dish! Asparagus is delicious, but asparagus baked in the oven and then topped with a balsamic-butter sauce is fan-freaking-tastic!! Of course, I am biased to anything involving balsamic vinegar, but really…this was one tasty side dish and will be a great addition to your dinner!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
