Baked Asparagus with Balsamic Butter Sauce Oh Jane

[Guest guest]

This sounds delicious!

I have cut down on butter and use some Earth Balance

and I agree with Steff, it got better tasting as I

used it a little more but there is nothing to replace

my butter and I will not give it up.

I will print this recipe out to make soon. I almost

bought asparagus yesterday too. IT was kind of wilted

so I passed it up.
