I also love quick, especially as we're trying to get out the door, while still checking on the girls and making sure the dogs are staying in the yard, and generally getting the day going.
Ingredients:
I have a couple of go to meals and since asparagus is in season, we'll be serving up lots of it. I believe that it's really important to eat what is in season, for a couple of reasons. Reason #1 - In season foods taste better! Why would you eat anything that tastes awful? Fruits and veggies grown out of season are just flavorless, take for example tomatoes... winter tomatoes, in my opinion taste horrible, Just don't do it. But a summer tomato fresh off of the vine... now that is heaven! Reason #2 - by eating seasonally you give your body a variety of nutrients. Ultimately, this helps our bodies function best, and we have fewer deficiencies when we eat seasonally. Reason #3 - you support your local farmers by eating what is in season. With CSA's, Farm stands, Farmer's Markets, we are able to support our local farmers and growers and what they CAN grow according to the seasons. Supporting your local farmers, and economy, is incredibly important. Alright, on to the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 - 3 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup ham, diced
5-8 asparagus stalks, chopped into 1" pieces
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat pan over medium heat. Saute ham until lightly browned. I like it to form a nice crispy edge on it, it brings out the flavor and savory bits of the ham. Then add the asparagus. Do NOT overcook this. They take just a couple of minutes. The pieces will turn a bright green, if they turn grey-ish they are over done, and will taste bitter. Add the whisked eggs and scramble. Cook eggs to your liking. ENJOY!
