Bacon Makes Everything Better

When Steve and I were last in San Diego, we had an amazing appetizer at a local restaurant: bacon-wrapped, blue cheese stuffed dates. They were so good we went there twice in our short visit. This week, we decided to try to make them ourselves.

Steve slices dates and fills with blue cheese:

Our ratio of ingredients wasn't quite right (next time we'll use smaller dates, or just 1/2 for each piece) but they were still fabulous. There are more dates in the fridge, so we'll have to give it another shot. The fatty little treats were rough on my stomach, but some things are just worth it.
