What to serve it with
Not only asparagus is good for you but you can also serve it with just about anything. It’s great with baked or grilled salmon, steaks, pork chops, and other greens. You can also make a sauce to go with it. I have a recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing that will go well with grilled asparagus.
According to Modern Farmer, Oceana County, Michigan is the self-proclaimed asparagus capital of the world.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do and naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
