I love asparagus more and more with each time I have it. Unfortunately it is not always the cheapest of vegetables to get fresh. I often get it in a can and just heat it up. But, for the times you get a fresh bundle then here is a recipe!

INGREDIENTS

- 1 pound thin asparagus spears
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ounce shaved Parmesan cheese
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2. Place asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Arrange asparagus
spears in a single layer. Spread Parmesan cheese over asparagus, and season with freshly
ground black pepper.

3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and asparagus is tender but
crisp. Serve immediately on warm plates, sprinkling with balsamic vinegar to taste.

I love balsamic vinegar and was surprised by this recipe. I would not have thought to put it on chicken. So, here is a delicious sounding recipe I found.

INGREDIENTS

- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

DIRECTIONS

1. Season chicken breasts with ground black pepper and garlic salt. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet and brown the onion and seasoned chicken breasts.

2. Pour tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken, and season with basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes.

I love Kashi and their products. I have yet to go outside of the free samples they give and buy them, but I do love getting the samples. Their food is good for you and delicious as well. Everyone loves free samples and trying something new so instead of a recipe I'm giving the url for a free sample at something that is good. Go to the Kashi website to get your free snack. I've gotten their granola bar and cereal samples in the past. They are delicious.
