Asparagus with Sliced Almonds and Parmesan Cheese
This was the best asparagus I ever made. I'll be sticking with this recipe from now on. I read another reviewers note about boiling the asparagus, then chilling it in ice water, then cooking it as the recipe states. It made it perfect. I used the normal kraft parmesan and let it get its slight brown crisp. I used smart balance butter which cut down on the fat. I highly suggest this recipe. Didn't have the almonds but didn't need them cause it did not lack any flavor what so ever. It is like having asparagus in a fine steakhouse!

Trinidad-Style Curried Potatoes (Aloo) with Green Beans and Shrimp
I had high hopes for this dish. I was disappointed. It was too watery in the end and lacked flavor. My boyfriend took a bite and said it was so bland. I even added extra curry. I ended up taking the potatoes out and mashing them, which salvaged them. We ate the shrimp seperately. Sorry but this was not good for me. I would suggest cutting down on the amount of water you add after the potatoes if you do make this. Instead of water maybe some broth should be used to give flavor.

Summer Cucumber Salad
What a simple delicious recipe! I recieved a bunch of cucumbers from my moms garden and was searching for something to do with them as a side with burgers tonight. This recipe is perfect. I followed it pretty much exactly and used reduced fat sour cream, then added some chopped red onion for color also. Lemon is a must, it goes so well with the dill. I took a bite and loved it! Thanks for submitting!
