Happy Easter!!
I hope you are all celebrating this wonderful holiday with friends and family. Enjoying good food, conversation, and reflecting on the miracle of the risen Christ!
So far this morning we have enjoyed our immediate family tradition of cinnamon rolls while our kids get the goodies out of their Easter baskets. Although the Easter basket tradition is drastically different now that they are 15 & 20!
This afternoon we will join my family for an early dinner, followed by dessert with my husband’s family later this evening. I prepared an awesome side dish to share with them and here is the recipe for you!

2cloves chopped garlic
1Tbsp flour
1.5c half and half
5c. Chopped asparagus
1/2tsp. Onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For topping;
1 stick butter

In a large pot melt a stick of butter, add two cloves chopped garlic, and one Tbsp flour. Cook on medium high heat until it starts to brown, turn heat to medium, and add 1.5c half and half.
