Lemon and Garlic Asparagus

Asparagus is one of our favorite vegetables and this is my favorite way to serve it.  It’s quick, easy, tasty and healty.  Too bad that it takes so long to grow or I would plant some in my garden.  My best friend, Fran, has some planted and just this year was able to harvest some … she didn’t share! 🙂

With only 4 g Carbs and 1 SmartPoint, it easily fits into any meal.  I made this last night to go along with the Stuffed Tenderloin that my husband was making … needless to say that my job was a lot easier than his!  Just how I like it.
