I have been a vegetarian for over half my life. When I became pregnant with my son, I dabbled in fish for protein. After a scare with melanoma cancer I decided to go vegan and soy-free a couple times a week. My husband and son eat all kinds of meat which makes cooking even more fun and interesting. This blog is a culmination of recipes from seasonal and vegan foods to vegetarian meals that can include fish and other proteins. Every recipe is clean, fresh and mostly veggie!

Sauteed Asparagus with White Beans
I love to saute my veggies and add beans for protein. To me it’s just like eating a fancier salad. This combo was amazing together. The asparagus and white beans are a perfect healthy pair. This dish was delicious alone but would be great to mix with pasta, polenta or use it as a side dish to any meal.
Ingredients:
1/2 tbs olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 bunch of asparagus cut into fours
1 15 oz can of white beans drained and rinsed
In a large pan heat olive oil over medium low heat and add onion. Top with salt and red pepper. Saute on low for about 7-8 minutes then add asparagus and continue to saute on low for another 5-7 minutes. Then add white beans and saute until asparagus is slightly tender and beans have warmed through. About 5 more minutes. Then it is ready to serve.
Yields 2-4 servings
