There are times when I get tired of the same old sides for meals.  It seems the routine is meat, potatoes, and a veggie.  

The meat is generally a steak or chicken.  Potatoes are usually mashed or scalloped and the vegetables are generally corn or green beans as they are the kids’ favorites.

It is almost a habit now and it is getting BORING!

If you are looking to break this habit and try something new then these Bacon Wrapped Potato Bites are just what you need!
