July 16, 2013 4 Comments

Bacon.  We all love it.  We all want it.  It’s even been called The Gateway Meat, for its ability to make vegetarians fall off the meatless wagon.  Can it get any better…? Um, yes.  Yes it can.  I give you: Brown Sugar-Dijon Candied Bacon. I saw this a few weeks ago on The Today Show […]

Bacon – Blue Cheese – Chorizo Bites.

Last month when I was in Atlanta for the Haven Conference, several of us went out to dinner at a tapas restaurant that had been recommended.  (I am so glad I get to type tapas instead of say tapas… “What?!
