So… we’re home from New Zealand. Back to reality. Jet lagged and in need of some serious grocery shopping. Have you ever been too mentally tired to really get the “bulk” of your grocery shopping done? Ahh, guilty! I am. Hence this recipe. All you need is a few basics ingredients to throw this dish together. And who doesn’t love a good bacon/egg combo?

Want to know another thing I am guilty of? Well, here goes. I’m going to reheat this meal for us daily until we polish it off. Then we will move to gluten free PB &J sandwiches and smoothies. But then I promise to get some REAL grocery shopping done and send the Kiwi to Costco! I think that’s the only thing he missed while in New Zealand… Costco.

But back to this dish. Bacon… Lettuce… Tomato. Wait, how can you bake lettuce? I’ll let you in on a little secret. I frozen some mixed herbs and greens before I left. Now all you have to do it sauté them a bit with the bacon before adding it the to egg mix. See, told you I was frugal. But it totally works, and you don’t have to waste a thing!

The good news is that FRESH greens works too. I’m sure they are even better, but I like i mentioned before, I just used what I had on hand and/or frozen. Not too shabby eh?

This gluten free BLT casserole really is amazing!
