Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Bacon has skyrocketed to the top of the list of trendy foods in the past few years.  There are things wrapped in bacon these days that I never dreamed possible - cheeses, meats, peaches, peppers and corn.  And don't get me started on the sweet bacon creations.  Chocolate dipped bacon is all the rage at the trendy chocolate shops.  People who really love their bacon - love it savory AND sweet.  I get requests at least once a week for a bacon cupcake.  (No kidding.)  Here's the thing though - I don't love the bacon and sweet combination.  I like bacon as much as the next girl but I can't seem to embrace the chocolate bacon craze or jump on the maple bacon doughnut or bacon cupcake bandwagon.  I just cant seem to wrap my head around the whole sweet bacon concept. 

I do like bacon and I prefer it on meats as a main course instead of as my dessert.  I found this bacon wrapped pork tenderloin recipe in my cook's country magazine.  It is really good - and in my humble opinion - way better than a chocolate bacon.

I may never have the desire to make or eat a bacon cupcake but I do know that I'll be making this bacon wrapped pork tenderloin again soon.  This pork will be making repeat appearances on our dinner table for many years. 

Ciao!

I know I should be friends with everyone but they need to be discreet when they can't help but eat meat. I believe animals should be treated more kindly and even if I have shown them truckloads of videos exposing the cruelty of the meat industry, they still choose to eat bacon. It maybe difficult to resist and I understand that because I was never raised a vegetarian myself but making fun of vegans or animals is a different story. I know most of us are annoying but you can always just choose to ignore. If any creature suffers, that's something that we can't just remain neutral about and even if you don't stop eating meat, you still need to acknowledge that it is wrong. It is the least you can do.
