Cozy Weekends ☕️

Make these before asparagus season is over

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read • Recipes

Hi Reader,

We are halfway through asparagus season here in Ontario, Canada, which means you still have a few weeks to make the most of it before it disappears from the farmers' markets until next spring.

This week I'm sharing two recipes that put it front and centre.

Smoked Salmon Crostini with Asparagus

A quick and elegant appetizer with crispy crostini, silky smoked salmon, and tender asparagus spears. Ready in 15 minutes.

Eggs Benedict with Asparagus

A lighter, spring take on the brunch classic, with asparagus instead of meat, and a creamy hollandaise that's easier to make than you might think.

Cooking Tip!

To check if asparagus is fresh, look for firm, bright green spears with tight tips. Avoid any that look limp or wrinkled, or have tips that are dark, mushy, or wet.

That's it for this newsletter!

Have a great weekend,

⭐️ P.S. If you make any of my recipes, I'd appreciate it if you could leave a quick comment and star rating on the blog post. Your review will help others find and enjoy these recipes too!

Hi Reader, It's the last weekend in August, which means summer tomatoes are at their peak. This week I'm sharing two recipes that let ripe tomatoes shine. Neither requires any cooking, and both come together in under 20 minutes. Pico de Gallo A fresh, chunky salsa that's bright and a little spicy. So much better than anything from a jar.
