Directions: - In a fry pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Prepare the vegetables while the bacon is cooking. Add the carrot first, cook for about 3-5 minutes, then add the remainder of the vegetables.
- Let it cook for about 6 minutes on medium heat. Squeeze lemon juice onto vegetables, add salt & pepper, and cook for another 8-10 minutes.
