Grilled Asparagus Skewers

Ingredients

12 Wooden Skewers, soaked in water overnight

30 Asparagus Spears

1/2 cup No-Stick Grilling Marinade for Vegetables

1 Tbsp Kosher Salt

1 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Trim the tough end from the asparagus. Line the 5 asparagus spears next to each other similar to fingers on a hand. Using two skewers, skewer them crosswise through the asparagus with one skewer just below the tips, and the other about 1-inch from the bottom. Take your time being careful not to split the asparagus.

Brush the asparagus with the marinade and sprinkle them with the salt and pepper.

Grill the asparagus on direct medium heat for 6-8 minutes, turning once after 4 minutes.

Remove from the grill and serve.

Yield: 6 servings

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
