Are we still doing this New Year, New You thing?

Because I added some bacon to these lettuce wraps.

But then again, I got rid of the carbs.

So, the bacon should be okay, right?

We always said that we needed balance.

I also swapped out half the mayo here and substituted with Greek yogurt.

So then, yes, the bacon can stay put.

I mean, we still need a little something to keep us going.
