Crispy Roasted Asparagus {AKA The Yummiest Asparagus Ever}

3 Ingredient Goddess Sauce {Hidden Veggie, Vegan, Dairy Free, Egg Free}

Life Questions {Q&A}
I was recently given the honor of participating in a project for a friend and coworker. He sent me a list of questions that several individuals will also be answering.
