PRODUCT: Bacon - All Natural, Uncured (1 point+)

Have your bacon, and eat it too!!! When people are watching what they eat, unless they are on Atkins, they tend to believe they have to give up bacon. Sometimes people do the unthinkable, and completely switch over to turkey bacon. Blasphemy! If you like bacon...real good, tasty, mouth-watering bacon, and you want to enjoy it occasionally, without guilt, then this may be exactly what you are looking for.



On Weight Watchers, the points calculate out to 1 point for a serving. That's 2 slices for 1 point! Take note that the nutritional info says "Two Pan Fried Slices". Don't be greedy and fry your eggs in the grease afterwards thinking that your points have already been counted, because the grease is not figured into the nutrition on most bacon packages. If you want to use the grease, measure and count it, and fry away!



This particular brand might have different logo on the center of the package, depending on what store you go to, but everything else is exactly the same. This version is from Trader Joe's, and it is delicious.

Serving suggestion: Chop up the bacon and fry it. Remove the bacon, and drop in the Brussels Sprouts. Fry them up in the left-over oil from the bacon. Once finished, if you choose to, throw the crumbly bacon on top. It is fantastic. Again...make sure you measure the oil before dropping in the Brussels Sprouts, because it is not "free points".  Have a great weigh!

Who knew I would ever eat Brussels Sprouts? My wife...that's who.
