Fresh Asparagus With Pecans
Very soon we’ll be seeing wild asparagus growing along the roadsides at Lake of the Woods. Seek and Ye Shall Find.
This is one of my family’s favorite special occasion dishes. We all love the fresh taste of asparagus and we know it’s healthy, too! —Jennifer Clark, Blacksburg, Virginia
