Some people may be wondering if bacon falls under the real food category. When we first started this journey we made our own bacon from pork belly. We still do this at times but now there are a couple of brands I will buy from the grocery store. They do have sugar in them but the amount is minuscule for the amount we are eating. Also, the brand I used today has cane sugar which, to me, is better than refined white sugar but not as good as honey or maple syrup in regards to processing.
We have been eating a lot of Brussels sprouts lately. They are readily available from a local farm and I find local ones so much nicer than the grocery store ones. We tend to do them steamed and toss them in butter, salt & pepper. For dinner tonight I was roasting a couple of chickens (will make stock as well). I decided to do mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I used a new recipe for the sprouts: Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. These are a nice change from steamed, although the steamed are very nice as well :) I didn't use the butter suggested in the recipe because I figured the bacon fat was enough.
