Don’t you just love bacon? We sure do! Bacon just makes everything better — especially vegetables. So we’ve gathered together a delicious collection of recipes featuring bacon and vegetables.
I’m not any good at sticking to a paleo diet… I just love bread and pasta too much. But my 76 year old mother has been consistently eating a strict paleo diet for over 6 years and has really improved her health. In the first year that she went paleo, she lost a bunch of weight and has kept it off ever since.
Even if you’re not following a paleo diet, you can be inspired by some of the ideas. Focusing on protein and veggies can be both a healthy and tasty way to eat.
To be clear, most of these bacon and veggies recipe are NOT paleo, but you could probably modify some of them if you are trying to stick to a paleo plan.
Lots of the recipes below include cheese and other ingredients like cream which are not on paleo diets.
When you’re buying bacon, try to purchase natural brands of bacon that don’t have nitrates or fillers.
