Vegetables always seem to get relegated to second place when planning a dinner menu yet, when given their due attention, inventive recipes can make vegetables the hit of the meal. I found several recipes for asparagus that were interesting so I combined several together and the result got a resounding “fantastic” from my better half. Yay! That means I can make it again whenever I like. After all, what could make a vegetable taste better than adding bacon to it? Nada, nothing, zilch! Can you tell I like bacon? Any hoo, this recipe is easy and is perfect for everyday dinners or when guests are coming because most of the preparation can be done ahead of time and then just slip in the oven when you are ready. And it not only looks fantastic on the platter but makes serving so easy since each serving is a bundle or two. Enjoy!
