Roasted Purple Asparagus

I hate asparagus. 

I love this asparagus!

Purple asparagus from my Dad's garden.

It's the only asparagus I will eat.  I cooked it at 400 F for 15 mins.  First I coated it with olive oil, sprinkled it with salt and lime powder.  Roasted to perfection!

I'm not sure if it is the lime powder or the salt that makes the little red pokadots, but it's cute!  And yummy :)

Anything Pie and Roasty Toasty Potatoes

Anything Pie

You should make this pie when:

You want to impress

Uninvited guests

Mother-in-law

You just got home from work

The cupboards are bare.

~

You can put whatever you want/have on hand into this pie.

But this is what I did...

I started with the same sauce that I used for the Salmon en croute

~

Some cream cheese, spinach, dried onions, dill, salt and pepper and a little cream.

Blended up.

I used the Secret Family Recipe for the crust.

1 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup filled with 1 egg and a little white wine

See Here again for more info.

Rolled out the dough.

It will make a top and bottom crust.

Roll it out really thin.

I used a greased round cake pan as my pie pan.

Leftover Roasty Toasty potatoes and 1 cup of frozen veggies.

Roasty Toasty potatoes are a double leftover.

I started with leftover baked potatoes - sliced them up and soaked them in 1 cup of fig infused vinegar.

Pre-heated the oven to 400 F.

After 15 mins I tossed the potatoes with savory, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper and a little olive oil.

Baked for 20 mins.

Added spinach sauce.

Covered with top crust and washed with egg wash.

Baked at 350 F for 20 mins.

Just until the crust was brown.
