The Sunday Funday Bloggers are excited to welcome in Asparagus season.....

Stacy of Food Lust People Love is hosting this week.  I LOVE asparagus.  Let's take a look at the recipes being shared......

• Asparagus Farro from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Asparagus Three Ways from Our Good Life
• Macaroni and Cheese with Asparagus and Prosciutto from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Shrimp Pasta Primavera from Food Lust People Love
• Spring Risotto Topped with Shaved Asparagus from Culinary Cam

I served this delicious, nutty farro studded with asparagus as a side for chicken strips.  I will be posting the chicken recipe next week when I host Sunday Funday and ask others to share a recipe that the Mom's in their life would enjoy.  My Mom would have adored this meal.

Farro is a chewy grain with a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the crisp asparagus. Farro is heart-healthy and fiber-rich, but more importantly, it is delicious!!
