Balsamic Glazed Asparagus

One thing that gets me through the low calorie days on the HCG diet is a flavorful recipe that I can count on. One of my long time favorites from one of my first rounds of HCG is balsamic glazed asparagus.

One bundle of asparagus, washed and cut then laid in a non-stick pain. Spray with about 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, a 1/4 of a
lemon squeezed on top, garlic powder, black pepper and dried minced onion. Cook on Med-high until the vinegar begins to thicken and the asparagus is cooked to your liking.


Note** When purchasing balsamic vinegar for P2 it is very important to read the labels and look for the lowest sugar content. Many balsamic vinegars will have north of 4g of sugar. I was able to find one at 2g of sugar and also know from my past experiences that it does not cause me to stall but everyone is different.
