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. Most bacons (minimally processed, nitrate-free) will yield a 1:1 ratio of fat:protein. So, if you’re looking to consume 25g of protein in your meal and you make bacon your protein source, you should account for 25g of fat.
So the combination of bacon (fat) and asparagus (healthy carbohydrate) is perfect. I mean opposites attract, right? Try pairing this with grilled chicken or a medium-rare ...

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.
I removed the three yolks, since I was already getting a good amount of fat from the bacon. Mmmm, bacon! I ate these right after baking them, however, I’m sure they would refrigerate/freeze well if you wanted to save a muffin or two for later.
