There are many nights I don’t have a lot of time to whip up a nice dinner. These are the nights where it’s easy just to pick up the phone and order out. Since we’re trying to eat healthier and order out less, I’ve really been trying to stray away from that easy route.
One of our go to meals on those nights where there isn’t a lot of time is this sandwich. The only thing you really have to cook is the bacon, which I can either do in the oven or on the stove depending on if I have a baby on my hip. The remainder of the ingredients are ones I usually have at home, which makes it easy to throw together.
This basil avocado BLT sandwich is full of flavor, I personally love the added basil leaves. The fact that it’s a clean eating meal is just an added bonus!
