B.L.A.T

We felt it was only appropriate to start our blog with a Bacon Lettuce Tomato Sandwich in honor of our blog's name.  However, we put a little monounsaturated fat spin on it by making it a Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado and Tomato sandwich (with spinach!).

Out version of a B.L.A.T

Start with a ripe avocado and sliced tomato

We used turkey bacon to cut back on the saturated fat 

Add a little soup for a side...

And combine!
