tonights experiment was a success! Looking for some delicious side dishes?

Potato Wedges

4 medium baking potatoes, cut into wedges
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

heat oven to 425
cut potatoes into small wedges (I cut them in half, and then made wedges out of each half)
mix spices
lightly spray cooking sheet with nonstick cooking spray
place potatoes onto sheet, and spray lightly with cooking spray (this can be skipped if one is being health conscious)
sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over potatoes
bake 25-30 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.

Baked Asparagus

spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray
place asparagus on sheet
spray lightly with cooking spray
season with Dinosaur BBQ Cajun Foreplay spice rub (or any rub that is a good mix of salt, garlic,, paprika, onion, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and a little sugar)
bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes or until asparagus starts to get discolored
sprinkle with lemon juice

....I have a question, actually. I just bought asparagus for the first time ever, but I live in a dorm, and thus have no oven. ;_; Is there any way that can be... I dunno, modified for a frying pan? *is shot*

you have a stove top sort of thing?
If so, keep the heat on medium, spray the pan and the asparagus, season, and move the veggies around in the pan regularly so you dont overcook any side. I would say cook until they are soft and see how that goes. it honestly should cook about the same. sprinkle with the lemon juice after you take them out of the fry pan.
let me know how it turns out if you give it a try!
