If I keep track of all the delicious things I made maybe I'll remember to make them again someday. This tastes really really good. It's  a fried egg and bacon sandwich. It simply goes like this: The Bacon: 2 pieces of thick cut bacon and optional 1 piece turkey bacon  The Egg:                       My trick: After cooking the bacon 1/2 way I dump out the extra grease into a metal can.

Lets face it a salad is only as good as it's dressing. Too much and the salad is ruined, but just enough of the right type and the salad's deliciousness is multiplied to yum tastic heights in your mouth. I'm always looking for a good dressing and I finally found a great berry vinegrette. It's so good I want to put it on other things not just salad.

I used it on my berry and almond kale salad and it tasted amazing! I'm going to try spinach next. Now here is the only downside:  It uses "High Fructose Corn Syrup." If I knew that originally I...

Save bacon fat in a jar and then use it later to sauté your veggies . It's only a few calories more than butter and tastes way more flavorful and delicious. Bacon is not as bad for you as everyone leads us to believe. All in moderation I say!
