Lemon Asparagus Orzo Salad
Why is it that when we think about cooking for ourselves, we don’t give it top priority? But if you ask us to make something for someone we go all out?
I know that for me, I just get plain old lazy and bored. When I arrive home from work, all I want to do is play with the dog, check out all the social media sites, look at stats for my blog and then figure out what I can make that won’t require a lot of effort on my part.
That’s exactly what happened when I decided to make my Lemon Asparagus Orzo Salad.
