Glaze ingredients
½ cup brown sugar
6 Tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Melt the butter, brown sugar and garlic powder together in the microwave. Put green bean bundles on pan. Spoon the glaze over the green bean bundles.

Vegetable / Green: Fresh Asparagus

From Mary Carey
Note: This recipe came from Mary Ann Roers, Tracy’s 1st babysitter in South Dakota. When Tracy was born, we had a wonderful couple nearby with 3 kids about the same age as ours. Mary Ann helped me really enjoy South Dakota. They were actually from a bordering city in Minn. Jim, I, Joe, Doug and Kathy had someplace to go and Mary Ann and her kids offered to watch Tracy as a baby. So, she was Tracy's first babysitter!!

Ingredients
1 bunch of fresh asparagus.
Dash salt
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Directions
Bend one piece of asparagus until it snaps in half. Cut the remaining asparagus to the same length as the “snapped” asparagus. Place on a cookie sheet in one layer. Add salt, to taste. Bake at 400 degrees for just 12 minutes.

After removing from oven, mix the butter, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over asparagus.
