Bacon Shredded Brussies

I always cook something green for my annual work Thanksgiving potluck. I made garlic asparagus for a few years then garlic brussels sprouts last year. (I like garlic..) I wanted to make (garlic) brussies again this year but do em differently, so I shredded them = totally different dish.

I prepped everything the night before so that I could wake up early before work and just cook everything quickly.

Ingredients:

a million brussies
4-5 slices of (sugar-free) bacon
hella garlic
juice of 1/2 a lemon
garlic pow
black pepper
sea salt
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Directions:

dice up yo bacon
chop up yo garlic
trim up yo brussies
shred your brussies by slicing them more, or throw them in a food processor
cook bacon on medium high until brown & crispy, remove from stove & place on paper towel to soak up fat
cook chopped garlic in bacon grease
add shredded brussies
garlic pow the crap out of your brussies
sprinkle black pepper
sea salt to taste
squeeze your half lemon
add balsamic vinegar
stir, but don’t stir too frequently so you get a nice crisp to your brussies
i added a little ghee bc my bacon grease ran out
after the brussies change to a different shade of green, add the bacon back in and mix

I got good reviews at work! Someone said the dish tasted a bit smokey (in a good way) and that’s from the sugar-free bacon I bought from US Wellness Meats. It def adds a smokey flavor.

Crossfit news: I ripped my hand doing kipping pull-ups the other night. I learned how to kip a little better though at least.

In other news, me and Hurlwon found a new nap spot. If you’ve seen the new trending hashtag #theoandbeau – it’s a cute toddler & puppy napping together. Facebook newsfeed is all about them right now. I think they TOTALLY stole me and HURLS’ thunder & our nappy thing. We (#catwonandhurlwon) take naps everyday. I guess two gigantic uncute massive bodies sleeping together aren’t as cute as a puppy and a toddler..

I dunno.. what do YOU think?!
