I’d wrap bacon around you if I could
Delicious just got delicious-er
My name is Anita and I have a confession to make. If I had a super power, it would be taking a perfectly healthy food and making it more perfect. And less healthy. I swear, I don’t mean to do it, but I have a compulsion to add bacon, butter, or cheese to pretty much everything on the planet.
Last night was no exception.
It started innocently enough. Just a girl and her beautiful asparagus.
See how it lays here, so green and perfect?
Hmmmm…it’s good, but not great. Let’s add some sundried tomato and oregano dressing to marinate it for a while, yes?
YES!
And while this alone would probably have made a wonderful side dish, I saw a package of bacon out of the corner of my eye and dinner was born. Life is short, kittens, enjoy your food.
If you’re every feeling truly wicked and wanna live on the edge (of obesity) ask me about my broccoli recipe. Or how I make green beans. And then stand back and bathe in the glory of my amazing metabolism. I know, I spend a lot of time counting my lucky stars.
I predict a whole new direction for the weekend. It’s so flipping hot here right now that I don’t see a lot of Poor Sainted Anita slaving away over her stove this weekend. Stay tuned for Anita’s First Attempt at Making Sorbet! There’s a pineapple in my kitchen just BEGGING to be frozen and pulverized. Although I dooooooooo want to make muffins on Sunday. Maybe with carrots? Feel free to leave me your favorite recipe!
Wrap bacon around anything. Instantly make it better.
I’d like to wrap bacon around my laptop. Or my mug of tea. Or maybe just around my face, for some constant gnawing action:D
We had some bacon-wrapped asparagus a few weeks back. It was incredible! Like the marinated touch:)
YES! A bacon ball-gag. If heaven had accessories, I’m pretty sure this would be a top seller.
Oh Anita…you always take it one step further! I won’t reply because I”m afraid where you’ll go next!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
***tries desperately not to make any butt plug jokes***
Ball gags in heaven? Woo hoo, tell me which religion you practice I think I’m sold!
I have a friend who makes bacon cupcakes. Not sure I take my love that far, but asparagus and bacon make a lovely couple. 🙂 Great blog you have here!
I saw delicious looking bacon cupcakes at RibFest last weekend. That being said, I bought a chocolate one instead.
You had me at bacon! LOL The other night, I steamed fresh green beans… and then plopped some refrigerated bacon fat on them for flavoring. Yeah, just killed the healthiness, but O. M. G. Soooo good.
For a fancier twist, wrap steamed or roasted asparagus in prosciutto and drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette on top. I did that for a Christmas Eve appetizer and it was devoured in minutes!

A bad time for bacon has yet to be found!
We just had bacon around fresh pineapple spears the other day… a piece of asparagus added as well would be terrific!
Oooo!! I saw a recipe for grilled pineapple on the BBQ and I think it’s BEGGING to be wrapped in bacon!
Ha! That is EXACTLY how I make my asparagus, too! Sadly, I don’t have your metabolism. Still want that broccoli recipe, though, LOL
Butter, cheese and/or bacon on everything – YES. (On the dessert side: peanut butter and chocolate.)
My metabolism is only amazing if you don’t look that closely…so I NEVER LOOK!
On the dessert side, I want to live at your house. As long as I can also bring caramel.
