Asparagus with Mushrooms--Fat-free and delicious!

Submitted by Amanda Beth

"This is an adaptation of several recipes... I liked the idea of asparagus and mushrooms, and asparagus with lemon, but all the recipes called for butter and herbs and such. This is very simple. I bet it really isn't a recipe, but hey, it works for me!"

These were great! Super easy and tasty. I made it exactly as written and it was perfect, that lemon adds such a great flavor! Thank you so much!

This is very tasty, quick and easy! I added a small onion sliced to this. I barely used any water so I didn't need to drain. I did use a couple of drop of olive oil. Shittake mushrooms is what I used in this. Thanks for a nice and healthy side.
