I have a confession…
When I was little, I literally ate McDonalds EVERYDAY for one whole year straight.
I know that having McDonalds everyday may seem like every child’s dream, but it happened because my parents were soooo busy working long hours and I was such a picky eater. Back then I would always wait at their office before/after school and the only food outlet near us was a McDonalds
This VEGAN BACON & EGG McMUFFIN is a tribute to those good old times!
Here is the recipe:
