Here is a recipe that offers a little twist on the classic BLT sandwich (if you so desire). With some fresh locally grown or homegrown tomatoes you cannot go wrong, whether you decide to include the crabmeat or not.
I admit this is not an entrée my kids will dig into, but they do like bacon and the bread so I just gave them some of that along with a few other kid-friendly items.

I always use a little mayo (if you can make your own) with dill in it for this recipe. Yumm!

Hi Jennifer. We focus on helping people make the switch from processed to real foods. We have found that by eliminating the empty calories and chemical cocktails found in processed foods and replacing them with whole foods, calorie counting becomes unnecessary. This helps explain: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2013/01/04/healthy-eating-defined/. If you wish to calculate the nutrition details, there are many tools available online to help you do that. ~Amy
Jenniffer says
Why do your recipes not have calorie counts? I am trying to keep my daughter on a certain calorie count to help with her weight issues.

We like to substitute mashed avocado (with a little lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper) for mayo. Still get the creamy taste, but I actually like it better!
Brooke says
Did you use canned crab and if not how did you prepare?

Brooke-So sorry I missed this!! It is canned crab. :) ~Amy

I just tried this last night and it was a hit! My fiancé loves bacon but we eat it all the time, so the crab was a really nice twist on an easy and delicious dinner. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

I thought I saw somewhere that mayo is not ok to eat while doing the pledge, because store-bought mayo has over 5 ingredients. Do you make your own?

I actually recently posted about mayo...here you go: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/04/17/real-food-condiments-do-they-exist/
Evelyn says
What brand of bread do you use? I'm brand new to the real foods eating thing!
100 Days of Real Food says
There is actually a whole post all about bread! https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/03/26/what-should-be-in-your-sandwich-bread/
Ashley says
Chicken and/or a slice of cheese make good additions to BLTs as well :]
Mary says
What kind of mayo and bacon do you use? All the bacon I saw had sugar in it.
100 Days of Real Food says
We buy "uncured" bacon from our Farmer's Market. It has no seasonings at all, and we flavor it ourselves with salt and pepper when cooking it. I think I've seen "uncured" bacon at Earth Fare before as well, but I have not read the ingredients label. In regards to the mayo I use Spectrum organic.
Julie says
Hi Lisa! Great blog! Where do you get your crab meat? Thanks!
100 Days of Real Food says
Earth Fare...I've found it is one of the best places for seafood in South Charlotte.
