Story

Springtime means the earliest vegetables are starting to come up. Things like asparagus will be available at the farmers market along with real baby carrots and snap peas. Put them all together in a creamy cheesy sauce and cover with crunchy stuffing and you won't have anyone refusing this vegetable dish... even the kids!
