Soy Sausage n' Greens with Roasted Asparagus

My traveling momma H loves beet greens. I never knew such a divine treat until she introduced me to them. They are best when they are fresh, organic and when they are young (small.) Beet greens, bok choy, and soy sausage create an alternative to the traditional recipe. Half the fun of cooking is letting go and seeing what happens. Enjoy!
