I have to admit, I never really had asparagus until I was an adult, and the first time that I tried it, I didn't like it. After we made stir fry sauce with ginger, I was looking around for other recipes that used 
ginger and I found this awesome video: Asparagus Ginger Recipe. I will definitely be eating more asparagus from now on!We made this with quinoa. If you have never made/heard of/tried quinoa, here is a great explanation from Dani Spies about what quinoa is and how to cook it: Quinoa 101. Quinoa is easy to make, we rinsed about half a cup in a strainer, then put 3/4 cup of water with the quinoa into the steamer and then it's done in about 20 minutes.
I picked up some organic pumpkin seeds but I didn't really enjoy their taste. I cooked about a cup in a frying pan on medium high heat with a tiny bit, maybe about 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil, and I added about 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and salt to taste. When I turned off the heat and squeezed the juice of 1/2 lemon into them, then spread them out on a baking sheet. With the oven set at 350, I roasted the pumpkin seeds for five-seven minutes. (Keep an eye on them, they should be a little bit brown but not burned.)Links:
