Roasted Asparagus with Dijon mustard, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

I did not grow up eating many vegetables. Broccoli and corn were about it. My Mom was raising 5 kids alone in a two-bedroom apartment. We were pretty poor. There were 3 of us kids in 1 bedroom, and my 2 oldest sisters in the other one. Mom had to sleep on the pull-out couch in our tiny family room. She worked her butt off for us kids. Usually holding down 2 or 3 jobs just to put food on the table.

I think about it now as a mother with only 3 kids AND a helping husband, and it’s still hard. I have no clue how my Mom did it alone, but she did the best she could and I have a lot of respect for her doing what she did for us.

That being said, we had fast food a lot or easy meals at home. They mostly consisted of ramen noodles, packaged soups and tacos. I know my Mom wanted to feed us healthy food but it can be expensive. She was working a 9 to 5 day job then worked a waitress night shift. I imagine she hardly had time to worry about her kids getting their fruits and veggies every day.

Now that I’m a grown up (lol, I like to think I am anyway) I have experimented with many new vegetables I never ate as a kid. Asparagus was one that I fell in-love with at first bite. I love the texture, the flavor, and I also love all the different ways you can make it even yummier. Like this DIJON ROASTED ASPARAGUS. It is incredible! Even if you’re not a big mustard fan I still think you’ll like this recipe. 😀

What I also really liked about it was the bread crumbs over the top. I went with panko crumbs and it just made the topping crispy and delicious. This asparagus was like comfort food to me! And it went perfectly with a side of grilled lemon chicken. Yum!
