I made a diabetic friendly version of this recipe. I skipped the real bacon (yes, I know very important to this dish). I cooked the sprouts, I had tiny baby ones that didn't need cutting in a small amount of water with the onion. The peas were added just before the sprouts were tender. The sprouts, onion and peas were topped with Baco's and it made a very nice veggie that was enjoyed very much.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
