How do you get a carnivore to eat their veggies? Toss them in bacon fat. Problem solved.
There’s something about a crisp salad filled with dark greens, the snap of seasonal apples, the crunch of pecans, and the flavor of a warm bacon vinaigrette. It’s guilty. It’s wrong. It’s oh, so good.
But hey, at least you ate your veggies.
