BLT's

BLT's are so tasty, and quick to fix. I have updated this classic by using turkey bacon, whole grain bread and homemade Miracle Whip. If you are a mayo fan there is a great recipe in the Dukan Diet book.

Ingredients:
  • 1 package turkey bacon
  • Lettuce or the greens of your choice
  • Tomato (Not pictured)
  • Bread - I used Dave's Killer Bread (found at Costco)

Jen's Whip (as close as you can get to Miracle Whip without weird ingredients):
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/8 tsp garlic powder
2 TBSP Stevia
2 TBSP Vinegar
2 shakes smoked paprika (go very minimal on this)

Procedure:
If you haven't cooked your bacon in the oven before, this is a great time to start. The oven is fantastic for bacon because it doesn't pop grease on you, and you can do other things while it cooks to perfection.
To cook your bacon in the oven preheat the oven to 350F. Lay the bacon on a cookie sheet that has an edge, slightly overlapping, until the pan is completely covered. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Once the edges begin to curl up you are getting close. Check back until the bacon reaches your desired crispness.
Toast the bread, layer on the other ingredients, enjoy!
