This week I found fresh asparagus on sale and made three meals out of them. First was a delicious shrimp asparagus and pasta dish that started the week off. It made enough to have left overs for lunch one day. I had them as a fresh vegetable side dish and then in a creamy soup later in the week. So delicious and bright green. Just right for the beginning of spring. Home made pizzas concluded the week and I had chopped asparagus as one of the toppings.

This week is all about comfort food. Starting with Sundays lets sit down with family and friends and have a nice dinner with all the trimmings. Save the left over gravy to make hot pork sandwiches on Wednesday. If you want you can make mashed potatoes on that night as well. Spring is coming and we change the foods we eat. As winter ends we are cooking foods where we like to be cozy and stay in. Soon fresh local and home grown foods will be available. But for now we are sticking with some favorite comfort food. The chow mein hot dish can be made with ground beef or turkey. I find a great healthy cream of mushroom soup for 59 cents a can at a national chain. At the same chain I get a pound of ground turkey frozen for $1.49. I buy my chicken legs when they are on sale and freeze them. Slow roast them and brush on your favorite BBQ sauce. I like to make my own. Cheaper and to me it tastes better.
