Tasty Tuesday - Easy Cheesy Bread

I'm so happy - Houston has some cooler weather in the forecast.  It makes me even more excited for the Fall/Winter weather.  So I really hope it stays a while.  There's nothing suckier than having a warm Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas!

On to Tasty Tuesday......

This is super easy and quick to make at home with bread slices or left over burger or hot dog buns.  I don't know why we always have buns left over, but we do and I try to use them.  

Sometimes theHubs will ask for some toasty bread to go along with dinner and I'm happy to oblige.  He'll usually ask when we have "said" leftover bread/buns.  Which is great because, the only thing that I hate to do more is walk into the grocery store to buy 1 thing like bread or a oddball list of items like - Drain-O, Jello, and charcoal. Yup, weird stares galore.  Can you say episode of "Snapped", lol!!   Which by the way is our favorite show to watch on Sundays, we're just weird like that!  We have some deep convo's on some of those episodes, lol!  Anyways back to the bread.

1) Set the oven to 400°

2) Prepare bread -
I butter both sides, 
sprinkle with garlic salt,
a little shredded cheese and
dried parsley.
(this stuff can be
put on the 1 top side)

3) Put bread on foiled baking pan (I use the pizza pan)
4) Then pop them into the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes. 
It varies so you might want to keep an eye on it.

Yummy and easy!

Have a great day!

"fruits" from the garden

Sadly, not my garden.  I don't even have a garden and the last time I checked, none of my flowers were sprouting fruits or veggies.

This yummy snack was from my friends garden!! She was sweet enough to give me some. 

I ♥ cucumbers!

They're so refreshing to eat.

These were washed, peeled, sliced and seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon.......DELISH!!

Fruit or Veggie

From a scientific perspective the part of the cucumber plant that we enjoy is a fruit. The cucumber has seeds and is formed from the flower of the plant. At the same time, a cucumber is a vegetable as well. How can a cucumber be a fruit and a vegetable you might ask? The term vegetable is solely used in culinary terms so as far as cooking is concerned, a fruit can be a vegetable, but scientifically speaking, the cucumber is a fruit.

Much of the nutritional value of the cucumber is found in the skin. 

Cucumbers are high in vitamins A and C, calcium, and fiber.

Mostly water and nutritional yumminess, cucumbers are very low in calories.

• Cucumber Fact #1 : Cucumbers are natural diuretics used to help lose weight!
• Cucumber Fact #2 : Cucumbers sold in supermarkets are coated with a thin layer of wax for preservation that gives the cucumber an unnatural shine. Most of the cucumbers in the home garden are naturally dull green.
• Cucumber Fact #3 : Soak slicing cucumbers in salt water before slicing to suck some of the moisture out of the cucumber. Sliced cucumbers leak water when sliced.
• Cucumber Fact #4 : Sliced cucumbers release water and can be used to moisturize the skin. Slices of cucumber placed on the eyes is a common remedy for wrinkles around the eyes.

Enjoy some today!

Tasty Tuesday - Parmesan crusted Asparagus with Garlic salt and parsley

How is it that I do not like tomatoes, onions or avocados.....but I can stuff myself silly with asparagus???  Crazy huh!!  I'm a weirdo I guess. 

It seems like Parmesan crusted asparagus is all the rage these days.  Hey you can put Parmesan on just about anything and it would be delish.  Well, I've been eating these babies for a long time now.....and theHubs always gives two thumbs up when I make these.  So if your into eating these yummy little green sticks and have never seen this recipe before....try it! 

What is needed:

Asparagus

Garlic Salt

Parsley

Parmesan

Olive oil

knife/shears

baking sheet

foil

stove (duh) 

This is how I make them:

Pre-heat oven to 400º

Rinse off the little green sticks and pat dry

Cut off the bottom stems (or cut, then rinse, whatever you want)

Align them on a foil lined baking sheet. (I sprayed the foil with some Pam)

Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus

Then add the garlic salt, parsley and then the Parmesan

Add till your heart is happy!! It's up to you!

Pop them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.

The thicker ones usually take a little longer.

After they're done scoop them up and plate them.

This is super delicious as a side or appetizer.  

Yummy, yummy in my tummy!!
