James was Blessed

Well today we blessed James. It was a really special day, we had family and friends that came from far away just for this. It was great to have them here! Jimmy did a great job blessing his son and we were so grateful to have so many great men in the circle. Thanks to all that made it! After the blessing we headed to my parents for lunch! It was a very nice afternoon and I had lots of help in making some of our families favorite foods! Some of them asked for recipes so I thought I would post them here!


Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto
1 Tbs. Olive Oil
16 spears asparagus (or how ever many you want to eat)
16 slices Prosciutto (equal to asparagus)

1.Preheat oven to 450, line baking sheet w/ foil and coat with Olive Oil.

2. Wrap one slice around each spear (I start at bottom and spiral up)

3. Place on baking sheet and Bake 5 min. turn them over and bake 5 more min. or until asparagus is tender & prosciutto is crisp.


This is very easy to make! My brother-in-law helped with these ones.

This is just a fun way to hold your veggies on a serving tray. You just cut the top off of bell peppers and hollow them out then fill with carrots, celery, cucumbers or anything that you want.
