Comments on: Contest Seeks Recipes to Improve President’s Opinion of Asparagus http://vivmag.com/vivsays/contest-seeks-recipes-to-improve-presidents-opinion-of-asparagus/ Just another VIV Mag weblog Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:20:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Josie http://vivmag.com/vivsays/contest-seeks-recipes-to-improve-presidents-opinion-of-asparagus/comment-page-1/#comment-143 Josie Sat, 13 Jun 2009 18:09:17 +0000 http://vivmag.com/vivsays/?p=1599#comment-143 If VIVmag.com readers are wondering which recipe won the recipe contest, the grand prize went to Amy McCoy's Pancetta, Asparagus and Sundried Tomato Sandwich. While it sounds delicious, with pancetta, cheese and mayonnaise, we estimate the sandwich packs about 660 calories--about the same as a Sonic Chili Cheeseburger or 10 calories shy of a Burger King Whopper. The sandwich has less fat than the fast-food options, with 24 grams as opposed to 35 or 39 grams.

Do you think you'll try any of these recipes?
