Commercial Break!

Just a short message a dear friend posted on her Facebook account. It's too good not to share so here it is. :)

"Life is so short! Experience the world while you can. Travel, eat, write, and take awesome photos! And when you come back home, don't think about how broke you are but how much you wonderful memories you have. Life is good." ♥

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

Everything is better with bacon! :D

Prep Time: 10-15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

10 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed

5 bacon strips, halved crosswise)

salt and pepper

*toothpicks

Directions:
1. Place the asparagus on a sheet of wax paper/baking sheet (coat with non-stick cooking spray beforehand).

2. Sprinkle asparagus with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

3. Wrap each spear with a strip of bacon. Use toothpicks to hold them together, if necessary.

4. Grill, uncovered, over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes (or until bacon is of desired crispness). Turn the spears occasionally to cook evenly.

5. Take off toothpicks and serve! :)
