This is delicious! - Roasted Asparagus With Crisp Shallots...

2 pounds asparagus spears, trimmed
1/8 tsp salt
A few pinches freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp finely grated orange peel
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 F (425 F for dark pans).
In a skillet, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat and saute shallots for 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a shallow roasting pan or baking pan, toss asparagus spears with remaining 1-2 Tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake until asparagus is tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring once. Remove from heat.
Add orange peel to roasting pan, mixing well.
To serve, place asparagus on plates and sprinkle with shallots.

Easy Cauliflower au gratin
Cut cauliflower into florets, cook in boiling, salted water for 4 mins. Pour into colander, and run cold water over to stop cooking. Drain well. Meanwhile mix 1 c. mayonaise, 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese, 1/4 c. grated parmesian cheese. Mix sauce with cauliflower, put in shallow casserole, top with buttered bread crumbs (can omit to elimiate carbs). Bake at 350 til bread crumbs golden, casserole somewhat bubbly (20+ minutes). Really good and simple.
