    Coming at ya with the quickest, easiest & most spring like vege side dish I know - Lemon Roasted Asparagus! It's going to be your go-to for early summer BBQ's and the it's 7pm and I don't know to serve with {insert main course here} panic that really seems to happen on a daily basis around here. Maybe it has something to do with the almost 6 month old that suddenly becomes super needy at that time of night!

    Asparagus is definitely one of those vegetables that you either love or you hate. I used to be firmly in team hate until I was pregnant! For some reason asparagus was one of those weird cravings - to begin with I think it was because it was in asparagus roll form at a party - the asparagus was wrapped up in white bread and cream cheese which were pretty much the only 2 things I ate during the first trimester! But then I grew up a little bit and suddenly couldn't get enough of the stuff. The only thing I don't like about asparagus is how short the season is! I was just getting in the asparagus zone last year and then it was gone - rookie first timer. This year I am way more prepared which means eating lemon roasted asparagus everyday!

    Out of all the ways to cook it though, lemon roasted asparagus is by far the best. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of salt & pepper and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

    It's fresh, lemony and has spring written all over it. Now go and get some asparagus before it disappears!
