For those of you who like to cook seasonally, here's a smashing idea. Although this looks to be Summer Squash, I'm sure any old squash or gourd would do the trick beautifully. Via Food Makes Me Happy blog.

OMG! These look so good, and so easy to make. The brilliant Mr. B over at Bacon Today came up with this crafty idea, and I cannot wait to try it. Basically, you buy a tube of pre-made cinnamon rolls,…

The October '08 edition of Bon Appetit magazine has this wonderful looking recipe for Cornish game hens with a corn bread and sage stuffing. Coincidentally, my husband had the urge to buy Cornish game hens over the weekend, so…

You know what goes great with bacon? (Ummm...everything?) Yeah well, this time I was thinking of bacon's cousin, the pork roast. I've seen a lot of recipes lately for bacon-wrapped pork roasts of various cuts, but I must admit the…

I've only had one oyster preparation that I really enjoy...until now. I think bacon might just be the ticket. The presentation alone makes them worth a shot.

Bacon Day gave us a great excuse to try and share some of the recipes we've talked about on this site. The first, which I believe may be entirely original to Royal Bacon Society, was the Bacondoodle. It began with…

Labor Day weekend is fast approaching...kids are getting ready for another school year, parents are thanking heaven that summer is finally over, and we're all planning our BBQ menus. For an added bonus, Saturday, August 30 is International Bacon Day!…

When my husband became enamored of Eggs Benedict, I learned to make them at home. The hollandaise is time-consuming, but not as difficult as I had imagined. The egg poaching, however, I never quite mastered. Instead, I bought these handy…

Okay, so if you read yesterday's post, you'll know I made bacon-infused bourbon over the weekend. And when my bacon bourbon was complete, I wanted to get some expert opinions on its flavor. Where better to go than to the…

So I finally did it. I made bacon bourbon over the weekend to share with some friends, and I thought I'd give you the step-by-step account. First things first, introductions. Bacon, meet Bourbon. Bourbon, Bacon. Okay, pleasantries out of the…

How do I feel this morning? Outdone, that's how. The amazing minds at Epic Nomz have created a burger so beautiful, so mouth-wateringly lovely to think about, I can hardly stand it. Once again, a bacon recipe that has me…

As we've all heard recently (and redundantly), New York Magazine has called the bacon movement a dying trend, boring as a lecture about plastic bags and beat like the proverbial dead horse. Why, then, did they give us this delightful…

Wow. You have to go check out this amazing, step-by-step recipe/photo journal of a breakfast cake. At first sight, I wasn't overly excited, because it just looks like cake. But you have to read through the whole process. This thing…

As you may have guessed by, oh I don't know, maybe my bacon blog, I am a salty person. I like the occasional sweet, but I'm really more about a good cut of meat, a rich pasta sauce or a…

Yes indeed, it's Memorial Day Weekend, and that can only mean one thing: Barbecue! And while the local weather appears to be less than cooperative today, I fully intend to wrap some steak and shrimp and chicken in bacon and…
