BLT



If it's been a while since you've had a BLT, then I would strongly recommend you make yourself one. The BLT is a classic that won't disappoint. It's easy to make and is relatively good for you...two slices of bacon only have 60 calories and 5 grams of fat (I know, I had to read the package twice to believe it myself). Loaded it up with a vine ripened tomato and lettuce and you've got a good serving of veggies too.

This sandwich can be ready in less than five minutes. Throw 2-4 slices of bacon in a pan and cook to your liking - the crispier, the less fat. While the bacon is cooking put two slices of bread in the toaster, slice up some tomato, wash two lettuce leaves (I prefer butter lettuce for this sandwich, but any lettuce will do...that said, please give up the iceberg if you haven't already - it has NO nutritional value), assemble and voila...perfection. You can add mayo if you must, but try it first without and see if you really miss it - I bet you don't!
