The Best BLT Salad

· · ·

I love a good salad. I also love a BLT Sandwich but I’m trying to eat more consciously which means less bread for me. I love bread, it’s a comfort food for me. But bread does not like me, well it does like me… A LOT… and it wants to stick around. So in an effort to eat better I’m upping my salad game and enjoying all the vegetables I can possibly eat in one single day.

I recently discovered Trader Joe’s cooked uncured bacon and it’s a life changer. I like the idea of adding bacon to dishes but I usually don’t want to cook 1 slice of bacon just for my salad or sandwich. Sometimes I think, I’ll just save some of my breakfast bacon to use later…. HA HA HA HA. Who saves breakfast bacons? Is that even possible? So thank you Jesus for packaged pre-cooked bacon.

The rest of the ingredients came from my produce box delivery, with exception to the cheese. This salad has bibb lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrots, bacon and feta cheese. I like honey mustard dressing but you can use any dressing you like. It’s delicious and filling, perfect for lunch or dinner.

    Whole30 shopping is different than our regular shopping. I used to be able to shop every 2 weeks but with so many more vegetables and fruits I now have to shop every week. And despite the fact that we aren’t buy all of the old foods we used to eat it’s still more expensive. I’m…

  • Whole30 – Day 2

    Day 2 went much better than yesterday. No trips to the ER and we stuck with the meal plan! I was pretty surprised at how little I’ve struggled with sugar withdrawal.
