Do you like bacon? Do you really ever buy bacon?
I never really did buy bacon. Ever. Especially back in the days when I was afraid of fat and calories. It was ALWAYS turkey bacon.
But only the Butterball turkey bacon brand, because every other brand I’ve had is kinda like eating rubber. Like, fake bacon. Fake turkey bacon even. Facon. Not that I really know what that’s like – but you get the point.
Well, we’ve been buying REAL bacon again. You know what? I almost forgot that this is what heaven tastes like. (Again with the nonsensical analogies. Roll with me.)
So good. Just so, so good. We’ll be buying real bacon much more often.
Not being afraid of REAL food and calories makes life so much more enjoyable. Fo sho.
Well, in other news, lunch was the same thing we’ve been doing for the past couple weeks now.
Not that I’m complaining, I mean grilled burgers are always delicious. I guess I’m just coming down off of a bacon high.
This Chili-Roasted Cod lunch was paired with organic green beans (bought in the frozen section at Costco) and quinoa with some garlic and cumin seasoning.
Snacks are often the same, too. I haven’t been having to prep too many snacks lately, because they’ve always been one or two of the following: cottage cheese, bananas, grapes, almonds, or Greek yogurt.
Actually, I’ve been eating almonds every day. I keep a big bag of them in my purse, which I have to refill fairly often.
And then we have dinner! Kyle being the seafood fiend that he is, wanted to get some frozen salmon at Costco. I say ‘Eeeeeeh… I’m not too fond of salmon. Sorry, boucha.’ So we settled on cod instead, because that I can eat. And actually enjoy.
We whipped up this chili-roasted cod for dinner one night and added some steamed broccoli (also brought from the frozen section at Costco) and couscous to our plate.
