Bacon wrapped Asparagus
(originally made 6/2011)
Had some gorgeous asparagus from the farm and couldn't wait to give this recipe a try! I highly recommend soaking the toothpicks, I remembered it halfway through and the ones I didn't soak burnt. This was fast and so good. I was hoping to entice Jake into trying asparagus because he's a huge fan of bacon but he wasn't going for it. More for me :) Will definitely make this one again, thank you so to Patricia K. for the recipe!
Awful pic, they tasted much better than they looked :)
