Celebrate Pi Day with breakfast Asparagus Pie!
I love to celebrate pi day by eating pie for breakfast! In previous years, I’ve had banana cream pie, chocolate pie, or apple pie. I decided to go a little more adult route this year and celebrate the asparagus that is abundant in my fridge right now. When my daughter […]
