Asparagus is in season and 100% delicious! What better way to enjoy it then to add it to one of my favourite meals Thai Green Curry. We made this last night for dinner and served it over rice. It was delicious and really easy to make - two things which of course I love! According to my daughter "it's sweet with some heat and a total make again ...like seriously mom!" We hope you enjoy it too, along with some local asparagus this spring!
