Me like Bacon

So I will be honest, I love bacon, but for a variety of reasons I don't eat bacon. :( So, I was really excited when a friend recommended BaconSalt

I used the original flavor and added it in my scramble eggs this morning. Very yummy, who knew I would have a tasted of bacon in my breakfast once again. :)

I plan on trying this stuff in some chocolate chip bacon cookies. Doesn't that sounds good? I am so excited right now.

• 1 green pepper

Directions:

• Pre-heat over at 350 degrees. Wash the eggplants and poke them with a fork all around. Please note, if you do not poke the eggplants, they might explode in the oven. Roast the eggplants on a cooking sheet for 45 min.
