One of the thing that I hear often from my customers and cooking classes participants is that they do not know what to cook. Ladies, cooking does not need to be a challenge! It does not have to be difficult. On the contrary. If you can buy fresh vegetables in seasons, then you will be able to vary your meals and eat healthy. Most seasonal vegetables and fruits are so flavorful as they come, that little needs to be done to make them taste great. Today I wanted to offer you this easy side. It is delicious, quick to make and so so healthy. Plus, look at the colors, don’t you want to just get a fork and dig in????

Ingredients for 4-6 people:

• 1 asparagus bundle
• 1-2 packs of mushrooms of 8 0z. each
• 1 tsp of olive oil
• 1 tsp of fresh thyme chopped ( if you do not have 1/2 tsp of dry thyme)
• salt and pepper to taste ( a dash of each)

1. Place the vegetables in a large colander, and rinse the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
2. Break the end of the asparagus by holding the asparagus at 3/4 and at the end, and bend until it breaks. ( by doing so you will be sure that your asparagus are not chewy, but tender).
3. Then chop them in 1/2 inch. Set them aside in a large bowl.
4. Cut the tails of the mushrooms and cut them in half or even quarters if they are too large.
5. Add them to the asparagus.
6. Drizzle the 1 tsp of olive oil and mix well to coat the vegetable well.
7. Lay the vegetables on top of the silpat. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and the chopped thyme.
8. Cook the vegetables for 5-7 minutes at 400.

9. Enjoy!!!

( And give it a try! Even those who came to my cooking class and who did not like mushroom or asparagus enjoyed it very much and even went for second;-)

Bon Appetit and Happy Cooking!!!
