Kale Tomatoes Pasta with Bacon 羽衣甘蓝,蕃茄,培根意大利面

This is going to be a shocker! It is my first time using bacon at home after so many years of cooking!


Thanks for being sold as bulk - I can just buy 1-2 slices. Thanks for being on sale - two slices cost me $0.65. Thanks for the urge to create some new dishes - crispy bacon atop pasta sounds too good to resist.

It is the new year and I am grateful; for having you - my loyal and kind readers, at my humble blog. I appreciate your support throughout these years. THANK YOU!

Here's wishing all of you Healthy and Happy 2015!
