The browned butter with the garlic and lemon is the best. Wonderful on top of the roasted asparagus. Thanks Gail :) Made for Holiday tag game -
This is a great recipe for asparagus. The asparagus had the perfect consistency and the flavor from the browned butter with garlic was sooooo good! Thank you for a keeper. :) -
Simple and absolutely delicious! -
Yum! Loved the combination of the browned butter, garlic, and lemon....and I'm not normally a lemon fan! This recipe has forced me to reconsider that opinion. -

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
