      We loved this, I substituted old cheddar as that was all I had. I also added some sprinkles of balsamic vinegar with the olive oil, and it turned out amazing.

        Hi Gwen, I wouldn't use canned asparagus - it will have a completely different texture than fresh asparagus.

        You could use Asiago, Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Mozzarella.

      Saw your recipe for peanut sauce. It calls for fish sauce. I am allergic to shell fish. Can you please tell me what kind of fish is in the fish sauce?? I love peanut sauce especially pad Thai but afraid to eat it and no one can tell me what fish is in fish sauce. Thank you. Love your blog❤️

        I'm allergic to shrimp, but I can eat things with fish sauce. Not sure what is in it, but apparently not shrimp.
