This super easy, weight loss surgery friendly appetizer is a perfect addition to a "tidbit party" menu.
Shelly's Prosciutto-Wrapped Roasted Asparagus
24 Asparagus Spears (thinner the better)
8 slices Prosciutto di Parma, sliced thin (find in Italian Delis, better Supermarkets, Trader Joe's)
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus. Wrap 3 stems with a slice of prosciutto, and roast in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
We serve them with Shelly's Feta & Onion Dip or Pesto Yogurt Dipping Sauce.
Variations: smear the prosciutto with cream cheese before wrapping asparagus. Short on time? This appetizer is also yummy uncooked.
It's also a pretty elegant breakfast served with soft-boiled eggs
for dipping. Perfect for me since I don't do toast.
Shelly's Feta & Onion Dip
1/2 cup Fage Greek Yogurt (I use 2%)
1/4 cup Tomato Basil Feta Cheese, crumbles
1 Tablespoon storebought Pesto
2 Green Onions, diced
a few twists of Black Pepper
Whiz all ingredients in a mini food processor till well combined.

Oh my gosh, I hadn't thought of these in a long time. We used to make them alot. We sprinkle ours with freshly grated Romano cheese before baking. YUMMY. Thanks for always making delicious suggestions.

I just found your site this week and have to say I am in LOVE with it. I had RNY surgery on 1/6/09. I love food network and don't want to give up my love of food and cooking. As I was browsing through the site I am wondering if you have a main page link to a listing of all the recipes you have made - sort of a quicker way for us newbies to find all those yummy treats?
If you are using the whole grain products like oat meal, whole grain pasta, just few for the mentioning, your body will work more swiftly, much healthier and with minimum residues. You will soon begin to malfunction if you are heavily relying on sugar and whites.
I have just found my new best friend. You are wonderful. I just had gastric sleeve surgery on 2/4/09. I am so looking forward to getting on with my life with sensible food. Your blog is a blessing to me just knowing that food in the future is possible.

One of my faves. I order this when we go out. :)
Yummm! Now I NEED some asparagus! I saw Ellie Kruger make them with smoked turkey deli meat around 1 spear and roast them up and we love them that way. Now I want to try them your way!
I made these tonight for dinner for my whole family. I made the greek yogurt pesto sauce to go with. OMG! For a change, EVERYONE ate their veg! And the sauce was the biggest hit with my 1 1/2 year old. I love your recipes and use them all the time. Thank you for being you!
