Bacon and Asparagus

San Francisco Day 1 !

Sem break has officially begun! So after getting things settled in my sister's new place, I gave her a hand in preparing a dish for her potluck at work the next day. With asparagus and Artichoke hearts in hand, Car and I were determined to whip up a really refreshing tropical salad. 3 hours later though, we gave up since the salad just didn't taste right no matter what we did. Since it was already 2 a.m., we decided to call it a night and just see what we could make tomorrow morning before she goes to work.

So right after we woke up, we immediately headed to the store and decided on making bacon wrapped asparagus tapas since we already had bundles and bundles of asparagus at home. I opted to oven bake the bacon and asparagus instead of grilling them since it was faster and more convenient to just place them on a baking sheet and let the over do its work haha!

Fresh out of the oven

We couldn't resist that's why one's missing haha!

Plated. Looks scrumptious!

The asparagus was tender all over and the bacon had just the right amount of crisp to it.

Signed, sealed, and ready to go :D

It turned out to be a big hit during the potluck! Even if it was wrapped in bacon, the whole dish was still kinda healthy since the bacon was baked anyway. I guess it is true after all that bacon just makes everything taste better!
