I was so eager to write last Friday’s post. Thank you everyone for your kind words about our pregnancy announcement. Being able to now speak freely about it on here is really fun. On to dinner ideas again now. This chicken asparagus stir fry is really fast and flavorful. We threw some brown rice in the rice cooker and dinner was done! I think it is fun and pleasant to eat asparagus when it is sliced into smaller pieces like this!
