  • Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb. (about 8 strips) uncooked bacon, diced
  • 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) fresh aspagarus, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (or you can double this if you'd like)
  • 1/2 cup grated or flaked Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water al dente according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, add bacon to a medium saute pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add asparagus to the pan and saute in the bacon grease for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside with the bacon.
  • Slowly add the white wine to the pan, and scape the bottom of the pan with a spoon to deglaze the pan and pick up all of those yummy brown bits. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by about half.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain it. Then add the pasta, asparagus, bacon and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the saute pan, and toss until combined. Sprinkle pasta with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

  • Dinner

Ingredients:
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • For the batter:
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • dash of Frank's Wing Sauce (or Frank's Original Hot Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried onion (I use Tastefully Simple's Onion Onion)
  • For the buffalo sauce:
  • 1/4 cup Frank's Wing Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • pinch of salt

Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with non-stick spray (I always use olive oil spray) and set aside.
  • Wash your head of cauliflower and cut into pieces. I made a variety of sizes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the batter ingredients. It will be fairly thick.
  • Dip each piece of cauliflower into the batter until fully and evenly coated. Place onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes until the batter just hardens.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the buffalo sauce ingredients.
  • Once the cauliflower are done, remove from the oven and brush with the buffalo sauce. Again, fully and evenly coat each piece.
  • Put back into the oven and bake for a few more minutes (I think 5-7 minutes was my range), until the sauce has mostly dried and the cauliflower is crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool, then enjoy! We dipped ours in Ranch dressing.
