Bacon Wrapped TilapiaTilapia is a favorite around the WellDone household. For a white fish, it’s tasty, it’s inexpensive, and it’s healthy.
It was that last part, the healthy party, that basically forced me to wrap it in bacon.
UnResolution month…how we hardly knew ye. Yes, that’s right, unResolution month is almost over. There is but one post left after this one. Ah, so many calories, so little time.
Anyway, I never meant for the “A month is four weeks, which is 28 days BUT January has 31 days so I need to find 3 more days worth of delicious but unhealthy foods†section of unResolution month to be a review of other bloggers’ ooey-gooey, delicious, and plain ol’ bad-for-you-but-still delicious recipes, but that’s how it turned out. So why, fight it?
Today’s post comes from Cook Local a great food blogger I met on Twitter who seemed to really embrace unResolution month as a concept and suggested:
Yep, that’s right. Cheese, bacon. For the carnivores out there, this recipe is for you. For the vegetarians, might I suggest some nice vegan bacon and vegan Parmesan?
Tonight, I’m typing this blog post from my couch because nothing says unResolution month like sitting on the couch and writing about fried foods. Right? Anyway, the fried food-only week of unResolution month continues with a post suggested by Elle who says her favorite comfort food is fries covered in melted cheese. Many, many people love this dish. However, this is unResolution month and I just felt like we could add more yummy-but-bad-for-you everything to it.
So that’s why I decided to do …
French fry nachos first entered into my culinary vocabulary on Valentine’s Day three years ago when my wife and I went to Granite City Food and Brewery. We ordered Idaho nachos, which were waffle fries covered in cheese sauce, bacon, and other nacho fixings. (Funny story about those nachos. I got sick the next day and haven’t been able to eat bacon since. Made going to vegan way easier.)
Okay, that was a wild digression. I guess all I’m saying is that I’ve had a lot of time to figure out what to top french fries with to make them really perfect for unResolution month. I’m hoping you’ll like them, too. Though, if not, then I hope I’ve convinced you to make cheese fries. That’s unResolution-y enough. Maybe add some truffle oil on top of the cheese…
Okay, focus, focus. Now to the recipe.
