ASPARAGUS IS UPON US!!

Woot!  Woot!  It's almost time for fresh asparagus season.  Oh and I can't wait.

As you may or may not know, I'm a nutrition nerd.  I love to know what's in the food I eat and how it's doing my body good.  Call me crazy but I like to get as many nutrients and vitamins into my body as is possible each and every day.  I don't eat Frankenstein food, I just choose the freshest stuff Mother Nature can throw at me.  And I love it best in season.

Soooo.... spring is synonymous with asparagus and here's the low down on this lovely vegetable.  It contains Vitamin A, a tiny bit of Niacin, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, bit of Magnesium and Potassium.  I got that information from The Nutribase Nutrion Facts Desk Reference Second Edition.

How come my pee smells funny after I eat asparagus?  I don't know.  Some people notice their urine has a sulfuric stink while others take no notice at all.  I'm no scientist and really, I don't much care.  I just love to eat it...the asparagus.

Low Carb Asparagus Omelet
So, here is my latest low carb omelet recipe featuring fresh asparagus and Jarlsberg cheese.

Simple to make in one pan and it feeds two people!

Set the table outside for two on a warm spring morning.  Use a pretty tablecloth, what the heck! Pour some sparkling water in wine goblets and some freshly brewed coffee in pretty mugs.

Enjoy this hearty, Induction-friendly recipe and have yourself an awesome rest of the day!
