Maple Dijon Asparagus

I wanted a light but flavorful side dish to pair with the Crispy Roasted Mustard and Thyme Chicken Drumsticks and the Creamy Mashed Potatoes I was serving for dinner. I found this wonderful maple dijon asparagus recipe at Food, Faith, and Fitness that sounded amazing. It was such a quick and easy recipe to make and paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. My kids thought it was pretty tasty too–which is a great thing when it comes to asparagus! My husband and I both loved it.
