Roasted Asparagus and Whole Wheat Banana Coconut Bread

Last night my domestic skills were "off the chain." I did laundry, dishes, cooked a balanced dinner, and then baked some bread. Yes, all this for this bachelorette. I took pictures of all that I cooked, just for you of course.

Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients:
1 bunch asparagus
olive oil
lemon pepper
sea salt
pepper
garlic powder

Directions:Preheat oven to 350.
Cut the white ends off of the asparagus stalks, about 1 inch. Sprinkle olive oil to coat, about 1-2 tbsp. Sprinkle seasonings to taste.


Shuffle the stalks around so that they are all coated. Bake for 45 mins.

Bake uncovered for 60-70 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
