Cooking the meat/main dish in the crock pot most days (which is yummy, but also a necessity with a toddler) has allowed me to spend a little more time on my side dishes. This is now my absolute favorite way to cook asparagus. Asparagus used to be my least favorite veggie of all. And then I started trying it cook in different ways & realized it was actually quite good. It has such a savory flavor, even when just plain. I buy most of our groceries at Costco these days. I LOOOVE Costco. Their eggs, produce, & meat are available at such great prices. And their produce is really good most of the time (there are rare occasions where we get something not so perfect). I normally peruse the produce department for a fresh veggie each time I go & since it's such a big amount of it I then find several different ways to cook that veggie so it's not so boring to my family. So I do actually have a few other ways that I cook asparagus, but this one is hand's down the favorite of myself & my whole family. It's so bright green & perfectly cooked & the sauce/glaze is super good too. Bon appetit!!
