Just printed this delicious-sounding recipe! Thank you so much for posting it. Do you think it would work just as well using canned premium asparagus? I have that in my pantry now, along with the red potatoes and onion...I would love to know that canned could work just as well.

Thanks again for posting great this great article, along with all your others! Keep up the wonderful work Lady!!! :)) Bless you today and always.

Warmly,
