Spicy Skillet Sauté

Submitted by Milann Taylor

"This recipe came from a feeling--the feeling of--oh my, what's for supper!? I planned it out two days while on the "bike that goes nowhere" at the gym from items I had. My guys loved it (my son didn't eat much of the asparagus tips b/c "they didn't find my fork." The measurement on the Tony's seasoning is an estimate, as I sprinkle it until it thoroughly covers the food, so do it to taste."

My bf loves this so much I make it once a week now, great way to use things I already have in the kitchen.
