Tips and Tricks

A bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich often gets overlooked as a full meal. But the offering of vegetables, carbs, and protein in one easy and delicious item is sure to leave you satisfied with little to no mess. You can also easily add things like avocado, a fried egg, or cheese to switch it up.
