Sarah - The asparagus recipe sounds terrific. We love asparagus here and I often use fresh sauted mushrooms with it, but will now definitely try the lemon idea. I'm printing it immediately. Thank you. :D
 
This recipe sounds great Sarah. I used to make something similar, using asparagus, hard boiled eggs slices, and sharp cheddar on top. I can't recall what I used for the "liquid", perhaps some lemon juice and a bit of broth. I love asparagus, thanks for the recipe.
 
Oh YUMMY!!!! Makes me so ashamed that it has only been in the last 6-7 years that I tried asparagus again and found that I love it!!! Have always loved lemons though. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!!
