Oven-Roasted Asparagus

3 pounds fresh asparagus
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus; place asparagus on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with olive oil; sprinkle evenly with garlic, salt, and pepper.

Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or to desired degree of tenderness. Transfer asparagus to a serving dish; sprinkle with almonds.

This just might be my favorite side. I have for the first time ever tasted asparagus, this year. I LOVE IT!!!! And I love almonds, too.

Grandma Erma's Spirited Cranberry Sauce

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup port
4 cups fresh cranberries
1/4 cup orange liqueur

1. Stir together sugar, port, and 3/4 cup water in a heavy 3-qt. saucepan until blended. Add cranberries; bring to a boil, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes or until cranberry skins begin to split. Remove from heat, and let cool 15 minutes.

2. Pulse cranberry mixture in a food processor 3 to 4 times or until cranberries are almost pureed; stir in orange liqueur. Cover and chill 8 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

I bet that'd be awesome. But, everyone else in the family likes that canned jelly stuff.

Butternut Squash with Brown Butter

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 butternut squash (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup low-sodium canned chicken broth
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon dark brown-sugar

1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add squash; saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, about 16 minutes.
2. Add chicken broth, the water, and brown sugar; cook until liquid has evaporated and squash is nicely caramelized, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Forget Thanksgiving! I'm gonna make this for supper TONIGHT. Think it'll go with our spaghetti?? LOL.

LOL! They think they want the canned until they taste this!

Hey, on the subject of liquor. DID YOU KNOW that the Kombucha has been taken off the shelves for relabeling because it has 5% liquor in it?!! I told you it tasted like beer!!!

I don't see why not!!! If you have leftovers, do you think it would work to make it into a soup puree? So many recipes for butternut squash call for curry. I just can't like that spice. I have tried, but I just do not like it.
