We know that Summer means a lot of different things to different people; But what comes to my mind is Cookouts! On that note, we wanted to throw in a recipe for one of my favorite, somewhat unconventional (but delicious) grilled dishes. Hope you all try it and enjoy. Even the picky non-veggie eaters love this! GRILLED BACON WRAPPED ASPARAGUS Ingredients: Bacon (any kind will do, but thick cut, peppered bacon has great flavor when grilled) Fresh Asparagus Spears Olive Oil Salt Pepper Garlic Powder Step 1) Wash, dry and clean the asparagus. Drizzle olive oil on a cookie sheet and sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder over the oil. Place the asparagus on the cookie sheet and shake around to thoroughly coat the asparagus. Step 2) Take 2 or 3 spears of asparagus and starting at the bottom wrap the bacon around to the tips. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon (If you break the toothpick in half and use one piece on top and one on bottom, it not only looks better but holds together better also). Step 3) Heat grill to medium heat and oil the grate to prevent sticking. Step 4) Grill the asparagus, turning often to prevent burning the bacon. They should only need 5 - 7 minutes depending on your grill. Step 5) Enjoy and eat fast..... They disappear quickly!
