Breakfast Pizza
Per The Bacon Show’s suggestion, we tried their recipe #266, Bacon and Eggs Breakfast Pizza, for breakfast this morning. Using freshly made pizza dough from my favorite grocery store in Phoenix, AJ’s Fine Foods, along with eggs, Boar’s Head bacon and colby jack cheese, we whipped up a couple of
And I’ll have bacon for dessert, too!
Tonight I had the pleasure of dining at David Greggory, a Washington, DC restaurant that has taken bacon cuisine to the next level. Every Wednesday night, David Greggory hosts an evening of “Pork and Pinot.” Chef Greggory Hill prepares a collection of small plates of pork prepared in a
BLT on a Stick
Today’s recipe on The Bacon Show is BLT on a Stick. At last year’s Iowa State Fair, I experienced a lot of things on a stick, but definitely no BLT. Someone needs to get on that! Attendance at the fair would almost certainly double in size!

Bacon and bananas?
Sure, why not! Although all of the crushing and chopping seems a little unnecessary. And I’d probably leave the lettuce off myself. Banana and Bacon Sandwich 1 1/2 cup crushed bananas 1 apple 4 bacon slices Salt Lettuce Crush banana, chop crisped bacon and mince apple. Mix, add salt, spread
Bacon Corn Chowder
Since it’s cold outside, I’m thinking of warm things I can eat. This sounds good. Bacon Corn Chowder 6 bacon strips 3/4 c. diced celery 1 sm. diced onion 1 c. diced raw potato 1 thinly sliced carrot 1 c. water 1 can creamed corn 1 c. milk 1/2 tsp.
Free Range Bacon
It’s hard to imagine pigs as “free range” since the term invokes images of some animal roaming around a wide open field, and most pigs spend their days laying around in the mud. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I randomly came across such a thing while searching
