Asian Asparagus
Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This type of dinner comes together VERY quickly. The flavors of the asparagus make a very simple dinner taste fancy and pairs really nicely with a plain, grilled piece of meat.
Servings: Serve 2, can easily be doubled. 1 cup of asparagus per person.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of asparagus
- olive oil spray
- 2 Tbl of Bragg’s Aminos
- light dusting of garlic powder
- light dusting of grated sea salt
- light dusting of grated orange peel
Instructions:
Cut your asparagus into about 5” lengths. I save the green parts toward the lower end of the asparagus for stir fry. Toss the woody ends.
Put in an oven-proof pan. Spray with olive oil spray. Drizzle on Bragg’s and toss. Then dust on your spices.
Roast in your oven at 375 for approximately 15 minutes or until done to your liking. The timing depends on how thick your asparagus is. I like mine on the thinner side.
You can also grill this if you’d rather. They cook quickly on the grill.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!

Turkey Tips
Many people think the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is the most intimidating meal to make. It's not. Here's some rules to follow.
I know I’ve asked before about if it’s 8oz of something, which is a cup, it if it’s just what fits in a cup. I was told its what fits in the cup, but asparagus doesn’t exactly fit in a measuring cup, and a cup of whole strawberries weighs less than 8 oz. So how do you tell what a cup is for your portion of this recipe? Thanks for any clarification offered. Enjoying all the recipes on here so far and really want to try this one.
We try to keep it by visual… not be weight.
So I cup of strawberries is a cup of strawberry slices.
And a cup of asparagus is a cup of asparagus spears cut up.
Otherwise just eyeball it. You’ll be close.
