Yes, I know the picture looks familiar! Anyways, this post is all about the ASPARAGUS! Most delightful way to enjoy one of my personal favorite veggies. (no hollandaise required, that's just spillage from that lovely chicken) You can throw this together with anything from a summer time BBQ to a simple chicken dish. The best part about it, is if you were like me once upon a time you only knew how to enjoy asparagus doused in mayo, hollandaise or deep fried. If you don't care for it plain and don't want to go for the loaded in fat choices this one is for you! Enjoy
