Ingredients:
1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
1 bottle of Terrapin Ridge Farms Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette or Lemon Honey Vinaigrette
I cup (stick) of butter, melted
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees farenheit. In a mixing bowl mix together 1 cup of Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette (or Lemon Honey) and 1 cup of softened butter. Mix as much as possible until it is almost perfectly blended.

1 bunch of asparagus
Olive Oil
Terrapin Ridge Farms Pesto Aioli
Directions:
Pre-heat over to 425 degrees. After rinsing the asparagus place it on a baking sheet. Drizzle and rub in olive oil. Cook at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Once cooled, drizzle in Terrapin Ridge Farms Pest Aioli.
Bacon Jam Mac and Cheese:
Ingredients:
Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Jam
Salt for the boiled water
1/2 pound pasta of your choice (we used macaroni)
2-3 oz White Cheddar Cheese
2-3 oz Gouda
2-3 tbs milk
Directions:
Bring a 2-quart pot of water to a boil. Salt the water generously. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender to the bite, or al dente. Before draining, use a heavy liquid measuring cup to pull out 3/4 cup of the pasta water; set aside. Drain the pasta and return the pot to the heat.
Heat the butter in the pasta pot, then add the cooked pasta. Stir in 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Add the White Cheddar cheese and stir until smooth. Add the gouda, milk, and Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Jam and mix well. Dribble in extra pasta water as needed to make a soft, creamy sauce. Serve immediately!
