Grilled asparagus is a favorite in my kitchen. Not only is it quick to make, but the flavor is out of this world. It goes well with pork tenderloin, and a hearty farro-based salad. I don't have the time or the desire to cook the main dish, so I grill it with the side. It's great as a side dish, which I serve about twice per week. It's also perfect for hot weather.
You can grill asparagus on a stovetop grill pan if you don't want to use a grill. Simply place the asparagus in small pieces and heat on the stovetop.

How to make the perfect omelet
Omelets are a favorite breakfast food of mine. How do you make them perfect? Many different recipes and methods have failed to work for me. So today, I want to share some tips and tricks with you so you can make your own delicious and fluffy omelets every morning.
It is important to know that eggs can be temperamental when making omelets. You must get them fresh, organically, and keep them cold until you cook. If they are not kept cold enough, the whites won’t form properly. The yolks will also break down too quickly and become runny. Your omelets will look strangely colored if this happens. If you intend to cook your eggs immediately, it's best to use room-temperature egg.
Another tip is to separate each egg before adding them to the saucepan. It is important not to allow any white to mix with the yolk as this could lead to the omelet becoming curdled.
You might burn the bottom of the egg if you place the egg directly on the stovetop. This could ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, place the egg in the microwave for 10 second before you put it in the skillet. The microwave heat will cook the egg just right without making it too hot.
Let's now talk about mixing eggs. When mixing eggs, it is important to thoroughly beat them. To do this, take the bowl from the mixer and flip it upside-down. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. This will whip the air around the bowl and mix the egg well.
Now comes the fun part - pouring the milk into the mixture. Fold the eggs in the milk mixture by first pouring half of it into the egg whites. Do not be alarmed if there are still egg streaks visible. Once the omelet flips, these streaks will disappear.
After folding the eggs fold the pan onto medium heat. When the oil starts to hot, wait for the pan to cook. Once the oil starts getting hot, add 1/4 cup of butter to the pan and swirl it around to coat the entire surface of the pan. Now carefully crack open the lid of the pan and sprinkle salt into the pan. An additional pinch of salt will prevent the omelet form sticking to your pan.
Cover the pan once the omelet is formed and allow it to cool completely. Flip the omelet over using a spatula or flip the pan upside down. Cook the opposite side for another minute. Serve the omelet immediately by removing it from the pan.
This recipe works best when you use whole milk.
