Cinco de Mayo is one week from today. Can you believe it? One week! So, of course I wanted to bring you a Mexican dish to serve on this holiday that, these days, seems to be all about the Margarita. You could easily go with tacos or burritos, or make it really simple and just… Continue reading Bacon and Egg Tortilla Soup

Super Bowl Hasselback Potatoes
I’ve never been a big potato person. Didn’t matter if they were mashed or roasted, baked or fried, I just never liked the taste or the texture. It didn’t matter if you bathed them in salt or sour cream, bacon or chives. If it was a white potato, I was out. But those orange sweet… Continue reading Super Bowl Hasselback Potatoes
Bacon-wrapped Goat Cheese
The big game is this Sunday. It’s a huge, national celebration. As matter of fact, some people think it should be declared a national holiday because so many people “celebrate” it. I’m one of them. I love the Super Bowl… especially when my team is in it. But more than the excitement of the game… Continue reading Bacon-wrapped Goat Cheese
Bacon-wrapped Tater Tots
Last week I talked about being healthy because it’s a new year. I even gave you a healthier recipe to start the year off right. But that’s all over now because the Super Bowl is right around the corner. I know. Sucks, right? I mean how are you supposed to create a whole new you… Continue reading Bacon-wrapped Tater Tots
BLT Bites
One of my favorite sandwiches growing up was the BLT. Actually it was the BT because I couldn’t stand lettuce. I loved them and ate them every chance I could. I think one of the reasons I was such a fan was because of the bacon. I love bacon. But then again, who doesn’t? That… Continue reading BLT Bites
Blackeyed Pea Orecchiette Pasta
Anyone out there a fan of blackeyed peas? I am. Or rather, I am now. Up until a couple months ago I’d never even tasted the delectable little beans. But thankfully Melissa’s Produce changed all that when they sent me some of their Steamed Blackeyed Peas for New Year’s. I loved them so much I… Continue reading Blackeyed Pea Orecchiette Pasta
Blackeyed Peas with Bacon and Pork
Eating blackeyed peas on New Year’s Day is supposed to bring you good luck for the year, so a lot of people eat them as a side or as the main dish. One of the most popular choices out there is Hoppin’ John which is a blackeyed pea dish that’s made with ham hocks and… Continue reading Blackeyed Peas with Bacon and Pork
Sweet Corn Risotto
I’m so over the heat. It’s been hot and sticky here in Southern California for weeks now. While I’ve never been a fan of hot weather, I especially hate humidity. But evidently Mother Nature forgot that we don’t live on the east coast and has graced us with some serious humidity. It’s been awful. So… Continue reading Sweet Corn Risotto
Mini Vanilla Cupcakes with Bacon Bourbon Cream
Last year I was lucky enough to attend Charlie Palmer’s Pigs & Pinot event in Healdsburg. If you don’t know about Pigs & Pinot, it’s a weekend long charity event that’s devoted to pinot noir and pork. While it lasts all weekend, hubby and I only attended the Taste of Pigs and Pinot which is… Continue reading Mini Vanilla Cupcakes with Bacon Bourbon Cream
Bacon Mozzarella Scramble
A few weeks ago, I decided to go on a diet. Nothing too extreme, just trying to firm up some of my more flabby areas. As a new mom… okay, it’s not that new, actually my son is almost 2 years old; but it’s a good excuse. Anyway, as a mom it’s hard to get… Continue reading Bacon Mozzarella Scramble
