Notes:
Anyway, I did want to mention a strategy I used in this recipe. I’ve learned from experimenting that most recipe calling for bacon can easily be lightened up by using a bit of real bacon bits instead. One tablespoon provides a hint of the bacon flavor without all that added fat. This is how I get my bacon fix in omelets. It works like acharm!
Servings: 5
Ingredients:
• Small sweet onion chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic mined
• About 1 cup fresh carrots sliced

• ? tsp dried thyme

Directions:
Spray a medium pot with non-stick cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic cooking for a few minutes until tender.
