I found myself wondering why I don't do this more often... it's so easy! Bacon is GREAT - don't get me wrong. Me love cave person diet. Ya. But we can't forget just how much we also need our veggies!! This is a great way to get them in: simply cut up peppers, onions, and asparagus and saute in pan with a little garlic and olive oil. I'm quite sure that coconut oil would be just dandy in place of olive oil, as well. Just remember to cook on low heat, on account of coconut oil's low melting point. This is fine, anyway, as cooking the peppers over low heat makes for the most nutrient retention. Add a cover, even better.
Peppers are oh-so-good for us!
Orange & Yellow: healthy amounts of vitamins A and C, B6, and folate, as well as minerals, in a high-fiber, low-cal package. Yellow peppers have a ginormous amount of vitamin C, due to the concentrations of carotenoids, and so offer lots of antioxidants to fight cancer and other chronic illnesses
Red: many of the same great benefits as orange and yellow, and also a great source of vitamin B6 and magnesium. This vitamin and mineral combination has shown a decrease in anxiety in some studies.
I served this tasty side of veggies with the following chicken recipe:
Nutritious and delicious, and easy peasy, I tell you. It's the only way to cook and eat!
