It’s not often I like a new dinner recipe enough to make it twice in one month, and then deliberately save leftovers so I can take a picture. Partly this is because I don’t use recipes nearly often enough, and partly because many I do try are pretty good, but not ones I want forever […]
Sweet Potato & Bacon Biscuits
There’s a reason I don’t read many books. I love to read, but when I’m engrossed in a good book, I am a nightmare to live with. That book becomes my world, and I walk around in a daze when asked to do anything else. At the best of times, my inner world is calling […]
Caramelized Bacon
I am aware that what I am showing you today looks a lot like the dog’s breakfast. However, I can assure you with reasonable (if untested) certainty that caramelized bacon tastes absolutely nothing like the dog’s breakfast. Although, if you gave this to your dog for breakfast, I imagine you would be slathered in adoring […]
Bacon & Gouda Twice-Baked (or Slow Cooker) Potatoes
I consider myself a fairly confident person. I make decisions with minimal thought, and I don’t care a whole lot what other people think of those decisions as long as I’m comfortable with them. I wear whatever I like, I eat what I feel like, and I go out without doing my hair. But let […]
Bacon-Wrapped Mini Sausages
So I’m a person who gets things done in the evening. Apparently newborns also have this trait. I knew this going in, but it still throws me off sometimes. Like when I plan to do homework in the evening in my usual write-5-pages-in-two-hours-the-night-before-it’s-due fashion that used to raise my parents’ cortisol levels. Or when I […]
Barbecue Pulled Pork Enchiladas
I am a slave to what you people want. You worry about all the sweets I eat: I join boot camp. You coo at pictures of babies: I make more babies. You ask for more savoury recipes: I deliver. And by “deliver“, I mean I ROCK ME SOME SAVOURY. Yup, I said it. I am […]
Broccoli Salad
I tried Cheerios for the first time last night. Um, how did they become so popular? I buy them for an easy portable snack for my kids, but had never actually tried them with milk. I’m one of those who just splashes milk near my cereal bowl, since I’m technically sensitive to it and don’t […]
Shrimp & Bacon Caesar Pizza
My kitchen is officially {almost} finished, and I am already hooked on it. I love working with all that counter top and the scads of cupboard space which means pans are not haphazardly stacked weapons waiting to escape when I open a door. One thing I always struggled with making on my confining counter space […]
Bacon & Butternut Squash Mac ‘n’ Cheese
There is no comfort food that gets me quite like macaroni and cheese. Do you think you can guess why? Let’s try a little multiple choice. A) I love pasta. B) I love cheese. C) All of the above. You guessed it, the answer is a resounding C! This mac ‘n’ cheese is great for […]
Bacon, Steak, & Onion Grilled Wraps
Seriously, do I even need to tell you how good these are? Ok, I will :) This is one of those occasions where you can add as many peppers, mushrooms, etc. as you like, but it’s not gonna make things better. You might feel better about it, but the flavor just cannot be better than […]
