Best Asparagus Ever.

Cover a cookie sheet with foil for fast clean up.

Place asparagus on the cookie sheet and space them apart a little bit.

Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and if desired some Italian seasoning.

Salt and pepper them as much as you'd like and put in the oven

I don't know what temp I have the oven and I usually leave it in there until it smells done. Or you can just look and see if they look done.

They're best when they're a little bit crispy. It's like asparagus candy. So good!!

Fresh Peach Dessert

I usually do this in a 9x13 casserole dish.

Use as many peaches as you desire.
1 box of Nilla Wafers (don't use knock offs it's not as good)
Whipping Cream ( I usually do homemade with powdered sugar and vanilla in it.)
1 cube of butter
1 egg
Powdered sugar

Peel, pit and slice peaches (it takes a long time but it's worth it. Don't cook the peaches at all to make it easier. It wont be as good.)

smash the Nilla wafers. I put them in the blender.

Cover the bottom of the dish with most of the crushed nilla wafers

Put the sliced peaches on top of that.

mix together 1 egg, a melted cube of butter and some powdered sugar

poor over peaches

cover with whipped cream.

sprinkle remaining nilla wafers on top.

Chill for 30 min and serve

A friend of mine gave me a small container of gorgonzola cheese, which I had never used before. I excitedly got onto supercooks.com (thanks, Lori!) and found a recipe that I decided to try. I really wanted it to be good. The caramelized onions smelled amazing and it looked delicious, but I just don't like bleu cheeses. I know, however, that some of you love bleu cheese, so I decided to post this because I think you would really like it. All you do is make pizza crust, thinly slice up 2 large vidalia onions (I promise, you want that much) and caramelize them. Put them on the pizza crust and sprinkle about 5 oz. of gorgonzola or bleu cheese on top. Bake according to the pizza crust recipe. I think it would be good with chicken on it as well.
