Cooking a complete entree on the go when you are already running low on time is not an option. To add to it, a nine-hour desk job which compels you to sit in front of a laptop or desktop makes it more challenging to prepare something which is light on the stomach and is made with minimal efforts.

A simple appetizer for bacon lovers is bacon wrapped wedges or fries. Cut potatoes in the shape of wedges or fries, drain and pat dry them. Wrap with bacon strips and flip bake them at 400 degrees in the over for under half an hour or until crisp. Sprinkle salt and herbs seasoning on top and serve hot.

Bacon can also be added along with the conventional recipe of deviled eggs. Hard boil 6 eggs and cut them to half. Remove their yolk and mash mix them with mayonnaise. You can use flavored mayonnaise if you wish to add an extra and a different taste to your appetizer. Chop bacon slices finely and either add them to the mixture or stuff them separately in the eggs.
