My mom gave this book of low calorie meals.

Its is from the 80’s

What do you think? Should anything change in the recipe?

I LOVE asparagus. I would only suggest spritzing a non-stick pan with olive oil and eliminating the margarine.

In the summer, I love taking the asparagus to the grill and dousing it with lemon only. That slightly charred taste is just perfect (I think). We made asparagus that way last night for dinner and I'm craving it again. But I'd have to go to the store to get more and with gas at $4/gal, I'm thinking we'll make do with corn on the grill tonight . . .
