Midweek Dinner: Beyond the ordinary

So I'm on week 3 and I've been eating asparagus twice a week for nearly a month now.  Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE asparagus.  So does my husband.  But roasted asparagus twice a week was getting a little old.  One thing I've learned so far is that old = boring and for me boring = cheat/struggle.  So I wanted to change things up a bit.

I've always wanted to try the bacon wrapped asparagus bundles.  Since turkey bacon is "legal"I used that.

I used this recipe from Just a Pinch.

Pretty simple.  Season ... wrap ... bake ... eat.  It took maybe 5 minutes longer than what I would normally do to roast them for prep time.  Bake time was less (higher temp) so all in all it was no more work than usual but it was a really nice change up to make the midweek a little less mundane.

Remember to lower your main protein by the bacon weight.  The turkey bacon  I get is 1/2 oz per slice so I lowered my main protein to 6 oz. Still plenty for a very satisfying meal.
