Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
Bacon-wrapped anything is usually popular among paleo peeps. Am I right?
Now, with that said, I eat bacon in moderation. Though this tasty pork cut is considered a meat and meats tend to be thought of as proteins, I tend to classify bacon as a fat.

Egg, Spinach & Bacon Breakfast Bowl
My first attempt at making a morning breakfast bowl using bacon as the bowl was a success! This recipe is low-carb, gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and so easy to make.
