    The secret ingredient

    The secret to these brussel sprouts is cooking them in the rendered bacon grease from your cooked bacon pieces. The bacon fat gives the sprouts a great smokey flavor and also lowers the amount of salt you need to season your dish with.

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
