Roasted Asparagus with Greek Sauce

Hope you had a fantastic weekend!  I did.  I got to spend some god quality time with Kendall, see some family members in IL, and have a relaxing Sunday at home while it snowed…AGAIN.  Saturday my sister and I went to Kankakee IL to visit with my Uncle and a few of my cousins and other family members.  We had a great day of reminiscing about old days when my mom was still alive and my grandma and we would take this trip as kids at least once a month.  My Uncle George is a fantastic singer and plays guitar and my sister and I love to hear him play.  this weekend he was playing at a diner in town along with some other band members and we got to go check them out before the snow came.  Or should I say ice.  We had an entire night planned with staying late and going for pizza and drinks later but when we came out from the diner, it was sleeting and doing some odd rain/freezing rain thing….and it was 21 degrees!  How can that even happen??  So we decided it would be i our best interest to skip the pizza and just head for home.  

We ate dinner at Blues Cafe.  A childhood favorite of both me and my sister.  We would go there every Saturday night with our parents and my grandma….they have the BEST home made chicken and noodles…and only served on Saturday nights.

 My sister so excited for the infamous Chicken and Noodles at Blues Cafe

My Uncle George playing and singing at Crazy Joes Diner.  It was so fun watching him play and listen to him sing.

I did promise you some recipes this week and today's is so good!  Last night I made asparagus with a "hollandaise" Sauce.  Now we all know that the real sauce is made up of lots of bad things like mostly butter, but this sauce I made yesterday was light and flavorful.  Really good.  I made it out of Greek Yogurt so it also had some extra protein in there.

Don't forget your Ab exercises!  I am feeling mine!!  LOL

Roasted Asparagus with Greek Sauce

1 Bunch Asparagus Trimmed and rinsed

1 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Salt and pepper to Taste

Sauce

1 Small Container of Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Tablespoon Butter (I used my Greek yogurt butter)

2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese

Lay Asparagus on cookie tray and drizzle oil on top.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minute.  So its tender but still crisp.  In a small sauce pan combine the yogurt and butter until melted.  Add the cheese and cook on low until cheese has melted and incorporated with the yogurt.  Simmer til ready to use.  Put roasted asparagus on serving plate and pour sauce over the top.  Sprinkle with additional Pepper.  So good!!

Enjoy!
