You're probably sitting here looking at this title going, MINT?? That's odd. 

Yep. And that's exactly why it works! 

And it doesn't JUST work. It blends. It brings the whole dish together. 

All of the flavors are enhanced and flow so well... just like they were meant to be.

{Plus, there's bacon. Which always makes veggies better}
