The easiest and best way to cook asparagus (in my humble opinion).
Wash and trim off the tough ends. Toss with olive oil. Spread in a single layer on a jelly roll pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, checking that they don't burn

Honey-Nut Green Beans
The original recipe is found on Sister's Cafe as Green Beans with Honey Cashew Sauce, but since we are such fans of Honey-Nut Cheerios around here, giving them a similar moniker boosted their credibility. Isaac was shocked to discover he liked these, and all three boys ate them up. Not a typical reaction to green veggie dishes.
1 lb green beans, fresh or frozen, probably not canned though, steamed to your liking
1-2 Tbs butter (I used half olive oil due to the high butter content of my main dish)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cashews
2 Tbsp honey
Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add cashews and toss until toasted golden. Stir in honey and cook 1 more minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add beans and toss in the hot pan (it helps to distribute the honey if the pan is still warm).
