Creamed asparagus is an easy recipe my mother passed on to me that I can actually handle.
Ingredients Needed: Asparagus, milk, flour, salt and pepper
1. Snapped off ends of asparagus, Cut up remainder into small pieces
2. Boil chopped asparagus until tender.
3. Drain a little! you need to leave some water in their for flavor.
*** I learned this the hard way the first time I tried this and it had no flavor at all. I drained it completely.**
4. Melt butter, about 3 tablespoons, and some milk in a saucepan.
5. Add to asparagus and mix in about 1.5 tablespoons of flour. (if you want it thicker add more)
6. Flavor with salt and pepper taste
I really love this as a winter or fall side dish but I guess Asparagus is a very versatile item as you can do a lot with it.

I don't really eat asparagus often, so I don't have a recipe. But I've learned that if you hold the stalk with one hand at both ends and then bend it, the place that it naturally breaks is best. I can't remember why for the life of me, though. Haha!
Sounds really good, though!
Lol Erin I've heard the same thing. I assume it's because the stalk might get hard where it was cut originally so it should break att the top of that leaving just fresh asparagus? I could be wrong but that's what I figured.
I like to fry my asparagus just a bit with butter and lemon then season with salt, pepper and garlic. Or I've added parmesan cheese to that mix too. It's good stuff :P
oh thanks for the idea on cooking! sound great and Im trying that next time.
My mom taught me the same trick with asparagus actually.
I add asparagus to my pasta whenever I do alfredo. Chicken alfredo, shrimp alfredo....and sometimes, I'll just do asparagus and artichoke heart alfredo pasta. YUM
That sounds like a good option over pasta. I need to try that.
