George Hirsch's Living Well Messages: 

A new day starts today. What better time to give yourself the opportunity to try something new or turn over a new leaf, so to speak. We all need a bit of encouragement to set new goals, stick to them and all the while still stay positive. I will post my favorite ways and mind sets to help you get where you want to be this upcoming year.

Good Stuff to look forward to in 2012 - 

You Can Do IT! inspiration! 

Serve this easy make-ahead dish as a starter or a side.  The asparagus is enhanced by the marinade and grilling.

Grilled Asparagus
Makes four servings

chefgeorgehirsch.com | From George Hirsch Living it UP! TV series

1 pound fresh asparagus
1/2 cup olive oil
juice and zest of 1 lemon
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tablespoon  of fresh oregano, chopped
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup calamata olives, pitted and split
Fresh ground black pepper

Cut the stem ends off the asparagus and discard; peel the asparagus up to the beginning of the tip ends with a vegetable peeler. 

 Combine a 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano in a shallow rectangular dish. Marinate the asparagus in this mixture for 1 hour. 

Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium temperature.

Remove the asparagus from the marinade and grill for about 5 minutes, basting with the marinade. Turn the asparagus as needed so they do not burn. 

Remove the asparagus from the grill, top with lemon zest, parmesan cheese and olives. Top with remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Serve at room temperature.
