BLT & BLT Salad

Nom nom nom..

This is a quick fix to anyone's hunger pains! We made these for dinner last night. 

PREP: 5-10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Total: 10-15 minutes
 
INGREDIENTS
2 large romaine lettuce leaves

4 slices of bacon 

DIRECTIONS
Start frying your bacon in a medium sized skillet. Cook until your preference of crispiness.

While your bacon is frying, pull a couple lettuce leaves off the bunch and rinse well. Cut off thick end of romaine. Pat dry with a paper towel or clean towel.

Cut your tomato into thick slices. 

 
Lay out your romaine lettuce and put a slice of tomato on one end of your lettuce and your finished bacon on top of your tomato.

  2. Yep, no bread.


    No more cereal grains (wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, brown rice) and legumes (“pods” like alfalfa, peas, beans, lentils, soy, peanuts, kidney beans, pinto beans, navy beans, black eyed peas, etc) from your diet.

    Cut out all vegetable, hydrogenated and partly-hydrogenated oils (margarines, soybean oil, corn oil, crisco, peanut oil, canola oil and sunflower oil.) Side note: Olive oil and avocado oil are okay, but don’t cook with them, use them in salad dressings and to trickle over food.

    No sugar. Soft drinks, all packaged products and juices (fruit juices too, no matter how “natural” they say they are.. sorry!). An easy way to think of it: if it’s in a box, don’t eat it. You will frequent the meat, fish and produce sections at the grocery store. It won’t be a bad thing to forget where the boxes of mac n cheese are.

    No dairy products. Heavy cream is an exception. You don’t need dairy, but if you can’t live without it try grass-fed cheeses.
