Our weekends have been hectic lately. We just crossed the one-year mark of owning a house, and suddenly every sentence starts with “I can’t believe we’ve lived here for a year and we haven’t__________.” Your answer choices are: planted trees, landscaped the front yard, or established a lawn that has more grass than bare dirt.
The answer is D. All of the above.
I usually pop out of bed on Saturday morning at the same time I would for a work day (ridiculous, I know), and make us a big breakfast to get us going. One thing I’ve been doing lately is putting a tray of bacon in the oven. I think bacon made in the oven tastes better. It holds it shape, it doesn’t splash grease on my cooktop, and it’s chewier. Place a wire rack on top of a roasting pan that has sides to catch any bacon grease, and place your bacon on top. Flip halfway through; perfect bacon every time.
One Saturday, I decided to make BLTs with the leftover bacon for lunch. But, I knew I wanted it to be the best version of a BLT.
What could be better than a BLT? A creamy BLT! What could be better than a creamy BLT? The addition of avocado (I can sense all of you nodding along in agreement).
Meet my BLTa wrap: chewy, thick slices of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and a creamy avocado mayonnaise.
Avocado mayo makes my world go ’round. You’re going to love this one.
Head on over to Food Fanatic for the recipe for my Creamy BLT.
Avocados make BLTs so much better! I haven’t tried the oven method, but should. I’ve lived in my house 7 years (really?!) and am still saying “I can’t believe I haven’t…” lol!
You and Stephie must have been on the same food wavelength this week!! I have a couple of avocados in the refrigerator that need to be used this weekend! Oh, and the house? Yeah. Don’t worry about it. We have some of the same issues, and we’ve been here 12 years. That was probably discouraging, but just enjoy the long weekend and have fun.
Baking bacon in the oven is the way to go! So much easier and cleaner!
Love this wrap and you photos are awesome! YUM!
Hope you have a great Memorial day!
I can’t argue with the addition of avocado to the BLTA, I can think of many uses for the Avocado Mayo. Congrats on the year anniversary of your house!
I TOTALLY agree about bacon in the oven! I make mine in the oven too! Arggg, being a home owner is a hang of a lot of work! But this BLT looks so yummy! Its making me wish I had all those ingredients stashed away in my cupboard for a BLT dinner!
We haven’t done anything to our yard either…we’re bad at the whole make a house a home thing..the way I see it, we’ll have time for landscaping when we’re retired ;) I may just have to make your BLT wraps first thing sunday morning! Love the avocado all wrapped up in it!
Sounds so good! Thanks for sharing! Avocadoes were made for BLTs :)
Avocado mayo? Lady this is genius! I’d eat that with a spoon!
Yum!
Obviously we’ve been catching the same brain waves with the BLTa combo! It’s really one of my favorites. yummy.
Um I bet theses were delish. Avocado mayo?! YUM
I love these wraps! Life has been crazy over here, too. And I know these wraps would be a welcome dinner any night of the week!!!
I am going through the same thing…I have a list going for house chores and it seems like I just keep adding to it rather than checking things off. Oh well, at least we have avocado may! Love this, friend!
Girl, your weekend breakfast making sounds just (exactly, in fact) like ours! Bacon in the oven is the only way to go. (Paleos learn this early on.) We cook all of our bacon for the week. Then, a quick nuke, or rough chop to add to our “Kitchen Sink” scramble, and we’re good to go. Love avos and your recipe! I specifically stopped by (because I’d hate myself if I didn’t!) to wish you and your honey buns a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend! xoxo
You had me at avocado mayo! These look sensational!
What a tasty wrap this is! I am kind of in love with the avocado mayo!
Those are the kinds of things I keep saying about our apartment, but it’s only a month later. If our paintings and photos still aren’t up in a year…I’ll probably go a bit insane. But that’s less of a project than planting and landscaping!
Christina, has it really been a year already?! Seems like you were just moving. :) My, how time flies! I love how you made a “wrap” instead of the toast version of a BLT (and yes, I’m nodding my head in agreement re: avocados…) ;) Have fun settling in in year two!
An avocado mayo!!! YES!
I love anything and everything that has avocado in it.
We have been in our place for 2 years and we still have that convo. Oh and I sooooo agree with the oven technique. Way better than stove top cooking.
Cooking bacon in the oven is the best. These wraps look like the perfect lunch.
Delicious wrap! Bacon & avocado is the perfect combination :)
