Woah! Step away from the trash can with your crusty leftover loaf of artisan bread. It still has life to live. And that life? Bacon, Cheese, and Spinach Strata. Okay?

I did it, I went to the farmer’s market and bought the most glorious loaf of bread from a bakery called Noble Bread. They are local here in Phoenix, so if you’re in the area, check them out! It was 7 grains and all seven of those grains were amazing. The only downside to picking up a whole loaf is, how the heck am I gonna eat a whole loaf before it goes stale. Well it staled on me. But I was quickly reminded that I went to culinary school, and for that reason I know how to make some sad food whole and happy again. Ta da: I introduce to you, this beauty of a Bacon, Cheese, and Spinach Strata.

And, Shocker!!! Like almost all of meals, this Bacon, Cheese, and Spinach Strata is totally meal prep happy. I may or may not have eaten it the next day, cold, and I don’t tell lies, it was like leftover cold pizza’s cool older sister. (layman’s terms: It was AMAZING!)

Now, I know at this point I basically sound like a Bacon, Cheese, and Spinach Strata infomercial, but all the ingredients are interchangeable. That’s right girl/boyfriend, sub out that bacon for ground turkey. I won’t be mad. Not one bit.

So the moral of the story here: Buy your loaf of bread, make your bruschetta, seize your day, and don’t feel bad about wasting it. Cuz, well, you didn’t.

I wish I could say I was sorry for how passionate I am about carbs. But I’m not, it’s just feelings. Guys.
