Tasty Eats

Yum
I started off calling this post "Good Eats", and then I remembered that was a show by Alton Brown. So, I had to go google the show, and found it started back in 1999.  I then learned that Food Network has brought this show back! Anyone other Good Eats fans out there?

So, back to my Tasty Eats... So many things I love about spring, and one of them is asparagus.  When I walked out to our patch last week and found our first stalk poking through, I was so excited. But, patience is required.  




A couple days later I went back, and there were enough to pick.  Now we get to enjoy our own asparagus for a few weeks.  We don't get fancy with our asparagus.  Usually, just toss in some olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and then on to the grill.

And then.... this dessert.  Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake.  I have seen it pass by in my facebook feed for a while now, and it always grabs my attention. I've been craving lemon so much, that when I saw the link again last week I knew I had to make it now.  It was love at first bite for both of us.  It's amazingly moist, and dense, and packed with lemon.  If you do make this, please don't expect yours to turn out the same color as mine.  Our amazing farm fresh eggs seem to be turning an even darker richer color this year.  I'm not sure why that is, and I haven't researched it yet, but it sure makes for some amazing color in our foods.
