I think we can all agree on one thing: we're all really flipping busy. Right? Regardless of how many to-dos are actually on your individual list, I think everyone feels busy almost all the time. And I don't know about you, but anything I can do to un-busy myself—even just a little bit—is a huge victory in my life. Enter the glorious, beautiful, life-saving world of convenience grocery shopping through my favorite grocery store, Meijer. I'm proud to be a Meijer Ambassador for this year, and, honestly, if I had a spare two hours to kill, one of my favorite ways to spend that time would be strolling around my beautiful local Meijer store and leisurely shopping. But my schedule rarely lets that happen, so when my to-do list is packed and my fridge is empty—convenience grocery shopping is my saving grace. Meijer Home Delivery bags filled with groceries Meijer Home Delivery is available through the shopmeijer app. Because we live so far out in the middle of nowhere, Meijer Home Delivery isn't available to us at our house. However, I have done Home Delivery at my sister's house in the city, and let me tell you, it was PARTY SAVING! We had a big family event, and no one wanted to leave the house and fight traffic to get the groceries we needed. I just pulled up the shopmeijer app, we placed an order for exactly what we wanted (right down to how thick we wanted our turkey sliced from the deli and how ripe we wanted our avocados to be), and within about 90 minutes, there was a knock on the door with our perfectly shopped grocery order. The shopper texted me a couple of times while she was shopping to confirm the items I wanted—it was a seamless process that allowed me to spend time hanging out with my family instead of fighting the grocery store crowds.

I'm kinda an NPR junkie. I think there's some switch that flips on in your late 20s that suddenly makes NPR totally fascinating and awesome. There are so many shows I love on NPR, but one of my favorites is The Splendid Table. I never would have thought a food show could be so successful on the radio. I mean, no photos, no smells, no tasting, but it really is incredible. Every show leaves my mouth watering and me itching to get into the kitchen. Midnight Asparagus and Eggs - Ingredients One time I was listening in, and the show started off with a description of the simplest, easiest, most delicious sounding asparagus recipe I'd ever heard—Midnight Asparagus. It's a one skillet meal that's all cooked under the broiler in about 10 minutes, resulting in an insanely delicious, insanely easy dinner for two (or midnight snack, if you're living up to the name of the recipe). Our asparagus patch is just starting to produce, and I'm loving every fresh, tender spear of it. I'm sure I'll eventually get sick of living on asparagus, but for now, I'm reveling in our harvest! Midnight Asparagus and Eggs - In Process Asparagus is actually pretty easy to grow around here. I know some people struggle with it because it's such a heavy feeder, but it comes up year-after-year around here without any issues. Since asparagus is a perennial (meaning, it comes up every year from the same plant), we're still eating off the same plants my parents planted in the garden years ago. To get it to produce in the spring, all we have to do is give it a little blanket of mulch over the winter, give it a heavy layer of compost in late winter, then come early spring, we've got spears! Easiest veggie ever.Read the post »]]> https://wholefully.com/midnight-asparagus-eggs/feed/ 10 fettuccine alfredo with asparagus. https://wholefully.com/fettuccine-alfredo-with-asparagus/ https://wholefully.com/fettuccine-alfredo-with-asparagus/#comments Tue, 12 Apr 2011 23:00:22 +0000 http://backtoherroots.com/?p=5681 https://wholefully.com/fettuccine-alfredo-with-asparagus/feed/ 7
