Asparagus Cheese Strata
This layered asparagus, cheese, and ham bake is a good choice to serve
buffet-style because you can assemble it completely the day before, then
cover and refrigerate it overnight. It cuts so easily, you can serve it
in nice neat squares.
1 pound fresh asparagus or 2 packages (9 oz. each) frozen asparagus
pieces
Boiling, salted water
6 slices whole wheat bread
Butter or margarine
2 1/4 cups (9 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup coarsely chopped cooked ham
5 eggs
2 Tablespoons instant minced onion
3/4 teaspoon each dry mustard and Worcestershire
1/4 teaspoon each salt and garlic powder
Dash of cayenne
1 3/4 cups milk
Remove tough ends from fresh asparagus and cut diagonally into 1-inch
pieces. Drop into boiling salted water to cover; cook rapidly just until
tender (about 4 minutes). Lift from pan with slotted spoon, drain, and
set aside. (If using frozen asparagus, cook as directed on package;
drain and set aside.)
Trim crusts from bread. Butter slices lightly and fit into a lightly
buttered 7 by 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 11/2 cups of the cheese over
bread slices. Top with ham and asparagus pieces in even layers.
In a bowl, stir together eggs, onion, mustard, Worcestershire, salt,
garlic powder, and cayenne. Add milk and beat together until mixture is
well blended. Pour evenly over layered ingredients. Cover and
refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes; then top with the
remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until
center of strata appears firm when dish is gently shaken.
Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serves: 6 to 8

Ok I am all alone in cyberland. No ones reading this and I really don't care. I have not put this blog as private just to see if anyone will actually try and follow it.
Here it is. I am not overly unhappy with my life but there are some key issues I need to work on.
My weight....ugh, it will be a focus, but just so I am happier with myself. I get to a point where it bothers me. It doesn't bother my husband, my kids could care less so this is for me.
I am part of a blended family...wow that is tough. We have been together for a while now and each and every day can bring new challenges. It doesn't always but it can.
Mother to disabled child. Now I wonder about posting this, but considering I am on other lists, etc, and I will probably not be going into great detail then I think it is ok. It puts challenges on me daily as well as our family. Our other kids have issues (who's kids don't?) but one of our children is on the ASD spectrum. It is a new road for us. Even though I have dealt with it since her birth, I did not really know what I was dealing with. Maybe I look to this blog to be supportive to other parents who are a bit unhappy with themselves and are going through some of the same things I am.
So I have goals.....do I list them here or not? That is something I will think about today. Really besides me, who cares....lol
Anyway here I am, read it, don't read it. Either way, Have a wonderful day!
