    Effortless Roasted Asparagus

    Jun 2, 2014 • Sides

    Roasted Asparagus Recipe - from theglowingfridge.com

    Hey friends! Hope you are having a fabulous Monday morning! Last night I had family over to celebrate my grandma’s 87th birthday. She is a tough cookie, still goin’ strong at 87! We had the best time, its too bad the Blackhawks lost!! We are huge Hawks fans over here! Anyway, when I have people coming over, I go into crazy woman mode. Watch out. Everything has to be clean and perfect, even if its just family. I am not sure why I get obnoxious, I just like knowing its clean from top to bottom and then my mind can be at peace. So much of my weekend was spent cleaning, preparing, buying gifts and then more cleaning. You know how it goes. Living in a house comes with a never ending job of to-do lists and projects! By no means am I complaining but I am definitely still adjusting to house vs. small apartment haha. So. Much. Work. Sometimes I stomp around the house pouting and asking Marty if we can hire some help because I just can’t keep up.  And I don’t even have kids! Sigh… 

    Funny side note: I had just finished cleaning the living room and then came back to check on Taz a few minutes later (he can be a troublemaker these days!) and all I see is the white stuffing from a brand new stuffed animal toy and his adorable little face staring at me while he has the stuffed animal head in his mouth. The stuffing was flying around everywhere!! On the couch, all over the freshly vacuumed rug, in every corner of the room basically. I don’t know how a little 4-pound puppy can make such a mess but I just had to laugh. Because of course that would happen right?! Thinking back, I should have taken a picture. How can I be upset at that precious little guy though?! Taz and Chuy snuggle together now too and it melts my heart. 

     

     

    Aside from the cleaning and prepping of the house, I made a few of my fave recipes throughout the weekend like my go-to Effortless Roasted Asparagus! Which I have been wanting to share because there’s nothing to it really. Asparagus makes for the perfect side, I also lay it over my salads for lunch or just eat it by itself! Sometimes, simple is best. When in doubt, roast some asparagus and you will be set. Nothing new or special about roasted asparagus, I know, but sometimes you just need a recipe to go off of or to be inspired from! I love when it has just the right amount of crunch too, I hate when it’s mushy! So here it is, hope you enjoy 🙂

      Hi Shannon,
      I really need to try this recipe! I love asparagus but I usually steam it and it is oh so boring. My family will be so impressed when I kick my asparagus up a notch by roasting it! Thank you so much for sharing this healthy and delectable recipe at the Plant-Based Potluck Party Blog Hop! I appreciate it!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
