Bacon

March 24, 2015 by candicebeckwith Leave a Comment

Sam is in charge of cooking two dinners this week because of one too many complaints about my cooking. Tonight he made grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup and… bacon. How did this vegetarian mother get a son who is so obsessed with meat? Especially bacon? I bought two pounds of bacon today and he decided to only cook 1/4 of it because he is “rationing”.

15617807750_597fec5cc3_z I’ve been told this turkey is amazing! It looks so moist and smells great. Those in the know it tastes so moist and tastes great too! Plus, this recipe makes me feel very official and professional. I’m not sure why, maybe because as a vegetarian I just think that most of my meat dishes will turn out badly but this turns out exactly the opposite!
