Years ago, I used to grill pork chops and covered them with BBQ sauce and let the flames get the chops nice and blackened for a crispy edge of tantalizing carnivorous pleasure. I also cheated and bought some microwavable potatoes for a side dish of baked potato. Lastly, I boiled some water in a pot and threw in some frozen mixed veggies (carrots, corn, green beans, and peas).
I eat meat, veggies, fruit, bread, dairy, and pizza to cover all the food groups.
Yes, pizza is a separate food group.
Vegan, soy and yogurt, I leave for the rest of humanity. Bacon, grease, and sugar may be the end of me, but I will die with a happy stomach.
