Hi. Hello. How’s monday treating you so far? Back to work? Did you miss the traffic?
So far so good in the Adarne household today. This morning, peanutbutter♥ and I ran an errand at the Registry of Deeds. Something for our dear old car, Ianne A. The staff who assisted us told us the document we need won’t be ready until monday next week. After getting that document, we need to go to Baguio to get another document before we can have Ianne A. registered here in Caloocan. So yeah, there’ll be a trip coming up this month. And to Baguio at that! I’m praying we’ll have a budget so we can extend our stay. This is a totally unplanned trip you know.
Last weekend, I promised to put away the Christmas decorations come monday…only I wasn’t able to. Because a pregnant woman needs her sleep, you know..heehee. Oh well, there’s tomorrow and the next day and the next day. All the Christmas decors here at home will be put away by the end of this week and that’s a promise.
Meanwhile, let me tell you about this Maple-Glazed Bacon-Wrapped Roasted Veggies which tastes exactly like vegetable candy. This is my ideal vegetable side dish because, well, it has my favorite bacon all neatly tied up in the middle of the vegetables. duh! It’s simple, easy to do and guaranteed to be loved by everyone!
Happy Monday! Hope we can make it up until Fridaaayy!

The bacon brings out the flavor of the vegetables!
Hmmm. Sounds Delicious 🙂
It is!
You can never ho wrong with bacon in my house. Looks so good! 🙂
I agree! Thanks Jhanis!
Happy New Year Peachy!
Nothing like bacon to add great flavor to vegetables…look delicious!
Happy New Year Juliana!
It’s flavorful, simple and easy to cook recipe. The healthy food for people on a diet program.
I don’t think it’s that healthy with the bacon…hee but that’s what makes it delish.
Is it an innovation? Is it creativity? Or whatever it is… the bacon and the veggies still deserve to be eaten. Foods that are nutritious must be eaten to supplement the body needs of nutrition. Maple-Glazed bacon tied to a cut of veggies look nutritiously yummy!
Thanks Sir Gil. It is very yummy. Also one way to make Ykaie eat more veggies.
I order this at Nanbantei and it’s really tasty. Less guilt eating bacon too since it comes with veggies.
I haven’t eaten at Nanbantei. I’m sure this is a hit with the customers.
It’s part of their barbeque plates. I also love eating bacon.
Will try it out one of these days.
You had me at maple-glazed bacon! This looks so amazing. Ironically, I’m more of a veggies fan than I am a bacon fan but mixing the two sounds super yummy. I can’t wait to try this recipe <3

I’m sure you’ll like this. It’s a wonderful combination.
I made a recipe similar to this for Thanksgiving, and it was so delicious. Bacon is a great way to ‘dress up’ your veggies!
I couldn’t agree more!
Adding maple and bacon to a recipe hooks me right away! Such an awesome combination!
Maple and bacon is the most flavorful combination.

Even the roasted veggies alone taste delicious.
