It just occurred to me that Spring is right around the corner. It’s hard to imagine right now because we’re still covered in a thick blanket, or more like 3 foot cover of snow. At least once a month I run the numbers to see if I could pull off a job on a beach somewhere. Sadly the equation ends with a hard no. Lucky for me, the weather is warming up and days are getting longer. I hear my flip flops calling my name!
I’ve noticed the produce section is improving on looks and cost which is a sure fire way to know that things are on the up and up! Asparagus for example, is no longer breaking the bank so I’ve stocked up and have cleverly found a way to add some crunch without heavily battering or frying. A simple three step coating is all it takes to get a satisfying snack on the table. Of course, we always need a delicious dip to go along side and today I chose the OPA by Litehouse Feta Dill Greek Yogurt Dressing. It’s an easy to pour dressing that pairs perfectly with the delicate asparagus.
