You're supposed to eat healthier, better, cleaner in this year, but your taste buds are mounting some keen resistance. After all, burgers are tasty, and quinoa is… delicious when it comes in Home Chef meals, but otherwise not your cup of tea. This meal has the healthiest of healthy, kale, but flavored with the grandest of breakfast items, bacon. Is it healthier? We're not going to say, but we think as long as you've checked the "kale" box, you can sleep well at night.
