i always have the hardest time cooking for myself when camden is working late. i feel like i most often find myself getting takeout (once again) and have recently been looking for options that are healthy yet still easy and delicious. this dinner is one i’ve recently been obsessed with. it’s so beautifully simple; asparagus splashed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes, then drizzled with reduced balsamic vinegar. i paired them with sliced gouda cheese and grapes with skins so tight they are bursting from the seams. seriously i’ve made this more than a few times recently and plan to make it just a few more (at least).
This post is making me starving! 🙂
this looks super delicious!!! And I'm a huge cheese fan 😀

Looks good, I normally just prepare what I had in mind but a bit less of everything 😉
I love to eat grapes and cheese, although I do prefer green grapes! I'll be sure to try that asparagus recipe, seeing as I cook for only meabout 90% of the time!
Grapes and cheese make the best dinners… but adding asparagus was BRILLIANT!
yum! this looks good!

Yum! I do asparagus with olive oil and parmesan although yours looks much healthier!
YUM! that is the kind of dinner i like to make for myself because my hubby would not be into it.
I really love this. This is my favorite blog, so beautiful!
i agree..cooking for one is not as fun (especially when my hubby is the master chef)!! but i can't deny my love for a dinner made up 1/3 of gouda!! mmm!
asparagus is certainly one of my favorite go-to healthy snacks!
Yum! Asparagus and a balsamic glaze sounds wonderful!
That looks so delicious! I love any simple preparation of asparagus. My favorite meal for one when I'm home alone is cooked spaghetti with some cut up steamed asparagus/broccoli/peas (whatever I have in the fridge) and 2 poached eggs on top, cracked so the yoke becomes like the sauce. Add salt, pepper, and maybe a sprinkle of parmesan. So good!
This looks beautiful. The reduced balsamic is pretty smart too. I'll need to do something like that soon 🙂
Sounds amazing! I'm terrible for cooking for myself… I've really got to get better at it!
YUMMM!!! Looks so good.
yummy!
