    pull out a sheet of tin foil, lay down some EVOO, lay down the asparagus (after cutting off the ends), add generous amounts of dill and Mrs. Dash's original, add some minced garlic if you like. close the tin foil (i.e., you will need a big piece) and put it on the grill. YUMILICIOUS......I cook it until it melts in my mouth and the taste is AMAZING :)

    sometimes I also add mushrooms or bean sprouts to the grill pack....but that's just a personal thing.

    Thanks for the tip!!

    I like hollandaise sauce on mine.

    I was just thinking about a yummy creamy sauce too! Hollandaise or even a bernaisse.. just a drizzle.. adds a nice lemony buttery flavor! YUM! Looks like I am getting some fresh asparagus tonight! lol

    If you have the grill fired up for steaks already, why not just grill the asparagus too? Wrap them in bacon and grill them up. They will be the bomb. And your pee will smell different after too.

    LOL! I found out that only people whose bodies produce this chemical that mixes with the asparagus can smell that weird smell. (from the book "Why do Men have Nipples - hundreds of questions you'd only ask a doctor after your third martini") Isn't the smell something kinda like chardonnay? LMBO :laugh: Also, asparagus is a natural Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Oxidant!

    I love asparagus anyway, so olive oil, salt and pepper is all that is needed for me! Steam it and then put the oil & salt & pepper, or mix it all up and then roast in the oven

    Not good for dinner, but one of my all time favorite things to do with left over asparagus is to chop it up and put it in my eggs in the morning. Super yummy with a touch of cheese!

    For myself I'll usually take 5 or 6 spears, put some tinfoil down (lazy so I don't have to clean...), spray the foil with olive oil cooking spray (no calories), cut the bottom stems off.

    My go-to seasoning is:
    No-Salt Sodium Free Salt Substitute (Good for potassium)
    Garlic Powder
    Onion Powder
    Black Pepper
    Cayenne Pepper

    Bake for 15 minutes at 375.

    Top all spears with a tablespoon of blue cheese for some xtra flavor and bake for a few more minutes to let it melt. I like my spears slightly crispy, so will put the broiler on for a few minutes.

    since your havin steak this one really doesnt help but for next time....I wrap several spears inside a tenderized chicken breast, season however and grill it or bake it. Its also good on a salad and in eggs. Be careful boilin it u dont wanna lose all the nutrients.
