I'm an Okie!

Ok, so I was born and bread in Oklahoma. When I was transplanted to Florida as a child, I missed a lot about Oklahoma. Mostly the food. Let's face it, Florida is hardly the south. Maybe a few households, but most of Florida is a mix of everything. The most southern thing about Florida is it's geography. Anyhow, what is more southern than your Grandma's cooking. In my case, my Nanny. That is what I call my Grandma. Her cooking was always the best. I guess that is where I got my love of cooking. When she passed away in 2005, the only thing I wanted of hers was her recipes. Nothing makes me feel more connected to her than making one of her dishes. So, I thought what better way to honor her than to share her recipes with others. If you love southern cooking, keep me in mind. And if you have any requests, I will do my best to find them for you.

HAPPY EATING!

Asparagus Sandwiches

Ok, Ok, I know this sounds really gross. But I can swear to you that everyone I have ever given one to...once they get passed the name...LOVES THEM. Even my 6 year old who refuses to eat anything green, loves them.

Asparagus Sandwiches
2 Cans Asparagus Spears
1 Loaf Fresh White Bread
(Wonder thin sliced is the best)
Real Mayo
Salt & Pepper
Take the entire loaf of bread, minus the heals, and slice off the crust. I usually do about 5 slices at a time. Place a thin layer of mayo on each slice. Salt and pepper each slice. Then take an asparagus spear and place it on the edge of one slice. Roll the asparagus spear in the slice of bread. Eat right away, if you can keep from everyone else taking them. If you are storing, I recommend putting a damp paper towel on top of them, just to keep the bread from drying out. These are great for parties or tailgating!
