I still have to force myself to eat my greens. One way is by loading up with flavor, and try not to add a lot of fat on the way. A few years ago my bother called and let it be know that the orchard behind his home had Asparagus for the picking. I have been waiting for his call but he has not called. Asparagus is one vegetable I happen to like but it is usually so expensive. It has such a short season on one day gone the next. I happen to see a bunch at the market last week it was priced to sell. I baked this asparagus while our salmon was cooking. You are saying baked asparagus, if you have never tried it you need to you will love it. Asparagus is a great source of potassium and fiber.

I have a family that loves asparagus. One of our favorite ways to prepare it is roasting. This looks like a terrific recipe.
Yum! I can't wait for the first stalks of spring! Thanks for your well wishes on my site. I'm feeling slightly better today!
Now I'm going to have "She's in love with the boy" going through my head all day! I do like the song though fortunately.

YUM, my neighbor turned me on to roasting veggies, but lemon juice what a great idea!
PS I have an award for you on my blog!
I can not wait for asparagus to come fresh around here. I love to roast it also, with olive oil, salt and pepper, dash of balsamic, then as soon as it comes out freshly grated parm cheese. Yours sounds terrific with the lemon.
Yummm... I love asparagus, usually I eat it with white sauce.
Sounds really good. Great pairing with salmon I bet.
