Author Notes
This is simplicity and ease embodied in one pan and a recipe that allows us to be 'healthy' by eating piles of greens (while of course forgetting that they are cooked in bacon fat!)
this recipe was adapted from a version on deliciouslyorganic.net, but the methods and ingredient amounts are different, and there is a couple of additional ingredients as well that take this side over the top! —thefood
