It's Bacon!!!!!

Tip of the Day: Use bacon wisely.

I LOVE bacon.  I can eat piece after piece.  But, bacon can be expensive (especially since its more of a fat than a protein) and you have to make sure your bacon is gluten free.  And since my grocery store bacon (which I will only buy when it goes on sale) is likely not grass fed, it is not the best on the range of healthy fats.  Therefore, I try to not let bacon be an everyday occurrence.  But, whenever the stars align and the bacon is on sale, I grab a pack and get cooking.  So far I have had bacon-wrapped chicken and bacon eggs...and there is more bacon in the fridge.  I'm thinking of cutting it up and freezing it to make more bacon eggs in the future.  They were SO good!  I've posted the recipe below.

Meals:
Breakfast: bacon eggs (2 eggs...I should have had 3), grape tomatoes with salt and pepper, Passion tea
Snack: a couple of slices of gluten-free deli turkey and carrot sticks
Lunch: the rest of the bacon wrapped chicken and brussel sprouts (I really did not want to eat the brussels but I stuffed them down) and a cinnamon raisin cookie
Snack: coffee w/ coconut milk and cinnamon
Dinner: leftover turkey chili and a cinnamon raisin cookie

Recipe: Bacon Eggs (for one)
Ingredients:
1 slice uncooked bacon chopped/cut into small pieces
2-3 eggs, beaten
pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook bacon in a skillet, stirring and flipping occasionally until browned and slightly crispy.  Add eggs and pepper and scramble until done.  Enjoy!
