I am proud to announce that I have a recipe in the June/July 2009 Issue of Taste Of Home Healthy Cooking Issue!! Ham and Asparagus Casserole is the name and published is the game!! Woohoo!!!

Ok, so this is the way I have it written out. Get the magazine, it is much nicer in there. They fixed up all my non-abilities of writing smoothly in the directions... in other words, it probably makes more sense the way they wrote it!
