I learned long ago, that the secret to happiness is either bacon or cheese or better yet, bacon AND cheese so I had to assume that the secret to getting some of my picky family members to try vegetables would be around similar lines. And since it’s been a month and I STILL haven’t been able to get that Jet’s cheesy bread out of my head, I decided to take it as a sign.

  1. My favorite thing to pair with bacon is bacon. Come to ATL and feed me pancakes with bacon sprinkles.

  3. Mmm bacon and cheese are definitely the best ways to spruce up veggie dishes! Where’s the cheese in the ingredient list though? 😉

    My favourite thing to pair with bacon is lettuce in Caesar salad with a homemade dressing. So standard, but so good.

  4. I love seeing you back with a recipe and one that includes veggies and cheese. Be still my heart.
