Have you noticed the lack of recipes lately? Sorry for the slacking! I've been cooking a little less lately with a busier schedule at work, but I've been building up some great things to share. I made this Cooking Light recipe last week and I knew it was an instant hit. The flavors in this dish bring one description to mind: FRESH. The asparagus, tomatoes and lemony aioli make for this a perfect way to bring in spring.
