Asparagus are like flowers. They will last up to 10 days on your counter if you trim the ends, give them a good rinse and put the stalks into cold water. Change the water every few days and our asparagus will be nice and fresh when you decide to eat it! Hopefully you will eat it before 10 days!
We are in "asparagus season" here in Germany. It's called "spargelzeit". It's dedicated to the white variety, not green

I came home from the #farmersmarket with loads of parsley yesterday. I washed it (see video tip below on washing parsley), chopped it (see video tip below on chopping parsley) and froze it on a freezer drawer lined with parchment/kitchen paper. Now it’s at my #fingertips when making soups, stews or sauces. When #parsley is frozen it keeps it’s bright green color. Easy peasy. No waste!

This is similar to the Butternut Squash dish prepared last week https://youtu.be/qjESpgit5F0 with completely different spice blends. The combination of these middle eastern spice blends is delicious!
The dish is super filling, high in fiber, with no added oils, and nutrient dense!

Zoodles with Roasted Tomato Pomodoro is one of the #recipe challenges for @wwofficial #wwcookingclub. It’s zero points on all plans. https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/recipe/zucchini-noodles-roasted-tomato-pomodoro/5dfbf0b88b2726001708d931
I prefer to “air fryer” my zoodles then they’re not so watery when the sauce is added. My kitchen is quite small and I can’t afford the real estate an air fryer takes up. I reallllllly like the oven crisper trays (link below). You can find them at Bed, Bath Beyond and other kitchen gadget stores. They hold a large surface of food, clean easily then slide into my cupboard for storage.They were in the oven the same amount of time as the tomatoes (see #ww recipe) but keep in mind everyone’s oven is different. I used full convection (fan).
Figs were on sale so I quartered a couple to add to the roasting sauce. They add a little more sweet to the jammy tomatoes.

This type of peppercorn from China is mellower in both flavor and heat than regular black peppercorn and is often used in Chinese recipes. They are commonly referred to as Sichuan or Szechuan peppercorns. Put them in your pepper grinder as you would black peppercorns and taste the difference!
