Steps:
- Prepare an ice water bath for the asparagus and bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water until it turns bright green, about 2 minutes; transfer asparagus to the ice water bath, then drain.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat; add onion and thyme and saute until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring.
- Add corn and cream and bring to a boil; remove from heat and discard the thyme sprigs (don't worry if some leaves fall off and if you have to use dried do not try to pick it out).
- Remove a third of the mixture and blend until smooth; return to skillet, add asparagus, and cook about 3 minutes to heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.

SAVORY CREPE ROLLUPS
Crepe rollups make a tasty lunch, an eye-catching party appetizer, or a fun way to introduce "sushi" to the kids. Whichever variation you choose, Asparagus and Prosciutto or Smoked Salmon and Scallion, these salty bites are a treat.

Steps:
- Lay crepe flat on a clean work surface. In a bowl, stir together cream cheese, lemon zest, and juice; season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly to edges of crepe. Cut crepe in half.
- Blanch asparagus in generously salted boiling water until crisp tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to an ice water bath until cold; drain and pat dry. Top each crepe half with 2 slices prosciutto and 2 blanched asparagus spears, laying them parallel to long, cut side of crepe, leaving a 1/2-inch border at cut edges.
- Starting at rounded ends, tightly roll each half to enclose filling, gently pressing long, cut end to adhere. To serve, trim ends and cut crosswise into approximate 1-inch pieces of "sushi."
- For salmon variation, sprinkle chopped scallions over cream cheese, replace prosciutto with smoked salmon, and omit asparagus.

The crepes used in this recipe come from my mom's special recipe, and can be made ahead of time, refrigerated to assemble the next day. Cooked rotisserie chicken is a real time-saver when making this savory brunch specialty. -Mary Sloan, Brighton, Michigan

ASPARAGUS PROSCIUTTO CREPES WITH WHITE WINE BRIE SAUCE FOR TWO
I wanted to make a relatively easy appetizer; turned out it's filling enough to be a main course. I used Bergy's All Purpose Dinner crepes, but cut the recipe in half since there are only two of us. I added one more egg because I like eggy, runny crepes. It actually didn't take me very long. 67 minutes from start to finish (that includes eating time). I'm not great with sauces, but this one worked for me.

Steps:
- Cook the asparagus to your liking and set aside.
- Remove the rind from the brie and tear or cut into pieces; set aside.
- In a medium skillet, melt the 1/4 tablespoon butter; add the mushrooms; saute for about 4 minutes.
- Add the onion and continue to saute until the onion is translucent (about 3 more minutes). Set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt the 3 tablespoons butter; add the flour, stirring until smooth. I cooked this mixture on medium-medium high for about two minutes trying to get it to brown, but no luck.
- Slowly add the chicken stock, one 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Once the stock is incorporated, slowly stir in the white wine as you stir to avoid lumps.
- Add the garlic powder and ground black pepper.
- Turn heat up to medium high and stir so the mixture is very hot, but not boiling.
- Add the sour cream and stir briskly. The lumps will dissipate as you continue to cook the sauce.
- Stir in the brie pieces; turn heat down to medium low.
- Add in the parsley and sauteed mushrooms and onions.
- Continue to heat the sauce, stirring occasionally until all lumps are removed.
- At this point, you can either create your crepes or use your prepared crepes. I made my crepes while my sauce softly simmered.
- Place one slice of prosciutto on the crepe.
- Place four spears of asparagus on the crepe. Roll up the crepe.
- Top with the sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!

CHICKPEA, ASPARAGUS AND CORN SAUTE'
This is a Weight Watchers recipe for both the Core and Flex programs. Point value 3. I found it a bit bland and tweaked it with 2 packets of Splenda. I have also added a 14 ounce can of quartered artichoke hearts to this recipe. I've made some changes which I've mentioned at the end of the instructions.
