ASPARAGUS ALMOND CASSEROLE
I found this published in an issue of Guideposts & thought it would be a great holiday side dish. The author uses Sunkist Almond Accents Sliced Almonds to add to the flavor and noted the original recipe called for saltines, but her mother substituted Wheatsworth crackers. I think I will go with Ritz or club crackers. Do your own thing and enjoy.
