Low Fat Cooking Low Fat Cooking Low Fat Living Easy Recipes Seasonal Recipes From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking With a new season comes new produce. My favorite spring vegetable is asparagus, which can be enjoyed in soups, salads, or as a side dish. Roasted asparagus is particularly delicious and pairs well with fish, chicken, and pork. If you're unfamiliar with preparing asparagus, we kick off this week's newsletter with all you need to know about choosing, storing, and cooking with this delectable vegetable.   Asparagus Tips Ambrosia may be the food of the gods, but according to King Louis XIV of France, asparagus is the food of kings. There are so many ways to enjoy asparagus: simply roasted with a squeeze of lemon and a generous sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper, or as an ingredient in risottos, stir fries, and many other delicious dishes.   Search Related Topics:  asparagus  selecting asparagus  storing asparagus Halibut with Asparagus and Tomatoes Pair asparagus with some delicious halibut. Admittedly, halibut can be pricey. Take advantage of any store-card discounts and if you're able, buy enough for two meals -- use some, freeze some -- so you get the most out of any discount. Alternatively, use some pre-frozen halibut, which will be cheaper.   Search Related Topics:  low fat halibut recipes  low fat fish recipes  Lemon and Mint Chicken Lemon, mint, and yogurt make a great marinade and coating for these succulent chicken breasts.
