Asparagus, the official veggie of spring time, is a perennial reminder that summer is on its way. A proud member of the lily family, asparagus was first cultivated 2,500 years ago by the ancient Greeks. Its tender shoots are brimming with vitamins A and K and are rich in folic acid. Low in calories (less than 5 calories per spear! and full of fiber, asparagus is the perfect addition to your spring meals, as both a main course and a side dish.

I love my asparagus steamed with butter and lime or lemon juice.  I use a special steamer and it comes out great.

I never had tried asparagus before up until about a month ago. I found a recipe on pinterest for pasta dish with it. It was so good. It is now one of my favorite dishes. It's goat cheese sauce with whole wheat pasta, asparagus, red onion, lemon pepper and prosciutto. It's even better the next day with a little Italian dressing as a cold pasta salad. So good.

I used to love going asparagus hunting with my dad in the spring.  We would look out the windows of the car, and stop and pick it along the side of the road.  It grows wild in Michigan.

I have tried asparagus in the past, but I can't get used to eating it yet. I will try it again prepared differently and perhaps that would help.
