""This is out of the WW Annual Recipes for Success 2000 cookbook. I have it marked as great! Just in time for asparagus season. Best time is suppose to be between late March and May. Great side dish for Barbecue time. This was 1 point on the old program. Enjoy! Prep time doesn't include marinating.""
