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.

  • Southern Banana Pudding

    Something is amazing about a homemade banana pudding that screams summer. One of my first cravings with this pregnancy has been banana pudding. I’ve been craving it for weeks and finally, on the 4th of July I decided to make some. Now it’s not 100% homemade because I didn’t make the pudding from scratch but…
