sweet and savory Archives - My Bacon-Wrapped Life

It’s been way too long since we did snacks up right and proper.

Which is not cool. Cuz snacks are one of the most important parts of the day! I have never been a three-solid-meals-and-that’s-it kinda girl.

Options are boring and unimaginative, “combo plates” that consist of 2 plain pancakes and 2 plain scrambled eggs with 2 plain links of bacon or sausage. Bo-ring! Why can no one offer me half of a sausage and breakfast potato scramble and half an order of banana walnut French toast? Apparently, sweet and savory creativity is too much to ask.
