Cheesy Asparagus

 2 lbs. asparagus 

3 tsp minced garlic 

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tsp thyme

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Wash and trim asparagus and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with the seasonings. Drizzle the cream over the asparagus. Top with cheeses. Toss gently if desired. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes. Place oven on Broil and bake for 1 additional minute if desired to brown the top.

My new favorite way to eat asparagus!

Samoa rice crispy treats

                                                 1/3 cup butter

5 cups mini marshmallows or 40 regular marshmallows

6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal

1/3 cup peanut butter

Melt the butter (I do this in the microwave but stovetop is fine too). Add the marshmallows and heat until melted (2-3 minutes in the microwave for the regular sized marshmallows). Stir in the peanut butter until melted. Add the rice Krispie cereal. Butter a 9x13 baking dish and press this mixture evenly into it.

11 oz. bag of caramels

2 Tbs. heavy whipping cream

1 1/2 cups toasted coconut

 milk chocolate and or butterscotch chips

Heat and stir the caramels (I used the Kraft caramel chips) and cream over medium heat until melted. Stir in the toasted coconut and spread evenly over the top of the crispy treats.

Melt chocolate or butterscotch. Cut up the treats and dip the bottom into the chocolate. Place the remaining chocolate in a baggie and cut a small hole in one corner. Drizzle the chocolate out and across the treats.

Prepare for a sinfully delicious treat!
