Breakfast Idea - Bacon Strips without all the Fat

Posted in: , , , ,

Bacon is one of those guilty pleasures one knows they shouldn't make a habit of, yet you can't stay completely away. I just love the salty, smoky, and crispy taste and texture of bacon. Even the fat makes the meat product a comfort food sometimes, but most times I want to get rid of that.

Craig David in the recent photos he released on Instagram looks all buff and all, but as much as I admire his chiselled abs, I miss that cute face he had when he was a musician. Is he still a musician?

And some will keep trying till they get their wish... lol...
