Hello from TINA
KASHIAN! This Thanksgiving, I’m adding roasted asparagus to the menu. We will
serve the traditional green bean casserole, but we are trying something new as
well. My oldest daughter does not like asparagus, but I love it. So, I’ve been
searching for a recipe that may entice her to try this vegetable. I roasted the
asparagus with lemon, butter, then added Parmesan cheese. It worked! When I
made it earlier this week, she ate two asparagus spears. I count this as a win,
and I’m looking forward to serving it on Thanksgiving. See below for my upcoming release and a holiday book giveaway of "Mistletoe, Moussaka and Murder."

Now on to my Thanksgiving asparagus recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus (about 1 bunch)
1 lemon, ½ juice and ½ sliced into rings
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Himalayan pink salt or sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp butter, sliced
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the asparagus. Break off the end of each spear by holding the base and snapping it where it breaks. Place asparagus in an aluminum lined pan. This makes for easy clean up. Drizzle with olive oil. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic. Gently mix to coat asparagus in oil and seasoning. Add the lemon slices to the top of the asparagus. Add the thinly sliced butter on top of the asparagus.
Bake for 10 minutes or until asparagus is tender and can be pierced with a fork. Remove from oven.
Add the Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and place in a serving platter or dish. Enjoy!

Not
even her impending nuptials can keep Lucy Berberian, manager of her
family-owned Kebab Kitchen, from the Jersey Shore’s annual Polar Bear Plunge.
But her dive into the icy ocean is especially chilling when she finds a fellow
swimmer doing the dead man’s float—for real . . .
Who would kill a man in cold blood during Ocean Crest, New Jersey’s most
popular winter event? When Lucy learns the victim is Deacon Spooner, the
reception hall owner who turned up his nose—and his price—at her wedding plans,
she can’t help wondering who wouldn’t kill the pompous caterer . . .
Perhaps the culprit is the wedding cake baker whose career Deacon nearly
destroyed? Or the angry bride whose reception he ruined? With her maid of
honor, Katie, busily planning Lucy’s wedding without her, Lucy will have to get
to the bottom of this cold-hearted business in time for Kebab Kitchen’s
mouthwatering Christmas celebration—and before her hometown’s holiday spirit
washes out to sea . . .
