Today I am celebrating one of my long-time blogging buddies, Joanne. She’s having a baby! Really soon, too. Well, not soon enough in her mind, I’m sure.
My advice to Joanne and any new parent, is to get yourself a journal – or 10 – and keep them in reserve for when your child starts talking. Jot down every single time he/she says something they have no business saying. Because it is hilarious.
We were out in the yard last week. I was pulling weeds, while the kids were digging holes in the dirt. There was a small, but incredibly fast and cool remote-controlled helicopter that kept flying over our house.
Trevor: I wonder how far it can go?
Haley: probably not far. I mean, it is just a toy.
Trevor: Ah. But men can dream.
Then at dinner time, I was cleaning up while Trevor ate dessert.
Trevor: would you ever want to live in Napa Valley?
Me: no. I don’t like wine.
Trevor: that’s true.
Me: although it is very pretty there. But I like Sacramento. It suits me.
Trevor: Ya. It is the lazy part of the country.
I about died. Seven going on 35.
Anyway, ahem. Joanne. She’s a soon-to-be doctor and her husband is a lawyer. Tell me that kid isn’t going to be smart. Lordy. She’s also a vegetarian, and yet still visits my blog and tells me how good my slow roasted pork looks. She’s such a liar. And I adore her!
I brought these Individual Asparagus and Pea Puff Pastry Tarts to her virtual shower. And I know when she says, “I’ll take all 4!” she’ll actually mean it.
Individual Asparagus and Pea Puff Pastry Tarts
These asparagus and pea puff pastry tarts are fresh, light, and delicious. They’re incredibly easy, but look so fancy!
Servings: 4
Ingredients

- 1 large egg
- 3 spears asparagus , tough ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Brush pastries with the egg wash. Pierce the base several times with a fork. Sprinkle each one with a tablespoon of Parmesan.
