Anything with bacon is generally a hit, so may as well sneak some greens in with the bacon.

Ah, it is full blown holiday time! Everyone on our street has lights up on the trim of their house and decorations covering the yard. It has snowed here a handful of times but there is not any on the ground… It’s time to put on a Christmas movie and snuggle up with some hot chocolate or this delicious cider cocktail with bourbon.
