Incorporating healthy meals is tough sometimes, especially if you have a bacon fanatic for a husband. Well, I love bacon too but hey, I would like to think that I can eat in moderation. It's gotten to the point where the guys at the cafeteria at work know the two of us and our breakfast eating habits. Long story short, the hubby doesn't really eat his veggies unless I make them. Well, he's alright but still, it's an effort. Unless I stick it in front of his face during meals, he'll kind of "forget" to eat them. The following super easy and straight forward recipe is one of my compromises to this situation. Plus, it makes for a fantastic dinner party appetizer.
Easy Recipes: Scrumptious Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Appetizer
(Prep Time: 15 min, Cook Time: 20 min)
Ingredients:
1 package of Applewood smoked Bacon
1 bundle of Asparagus
1) Trim the Asparagus Spears to remove the woody ends. If you have furry pups that enjoy a healthy and hearty treat, I have another Easy Recipes: Baked Asparagus Dog Treats that utilizes the woody ends.
2) Preheat oven to 375F.
3) Wrap mini bundles of 2-3 Asparagus Tips with 1 slice of bacon.
4) Bake for 20 minutes or until bacon crisp and bundles tender. If you have a slotted broiler pan, use it to help drain the oil as it bakes. Cooking time may differ for different ovens.
5) Blot with paper towel to remove excess oil and grease

Try it out and let me know what you think? I can tell you my hubby loved this and devoured the plate, not even leaving a crumb! Serve it at a party as an appetizer, you'll be the star of the party! Love this? Check out our other deliciously easy recipes.

The more I see the McFarland USA trailers and featurettes, the more encouraged and inspired I feel. Can you imagine the empowerment and growth that happens just from the videos and teasers you've seen so far? Sure, a movie based on real life is always fantastic but it is also made that much more powerful from the true content it developed from. Here's why I want to watch McFarland USA and why you should too as it arrives in theaters today!

The days are starting earlier and brighter. The glow of the emerging sun as I leave for work in the mornings fills me with warmth and acts as a gentle reminder that winter is almost over. It's that time of year to shift my wardrobe into something more fitting. No more Michelin man outfits! At the same time, I take a step back and remind myself, it's not quite summer yet so don't go crazy and dress too lightly. Monroe and Main really has a fantastic selection glamourously fit for Spring for both you and me!
