My husband, baby and I all love eating asparagus. It started when we found out how to cook it well and taste it's natural sweetness to our taste buds. We almost stopped buying this vegetable for we didn't know how to cook it until we learned that it can be broiled or grilled in a tin foil. From then on, we buy it everytime we go grocery shopping and we just so lovin' it!
