We’ve been toying with how to coat things in bacon for a while and kept getting stuck at the bacon clumping with flour. So our…

Homemade Bacon Cheese Sticks Recipe
Cheese sticks are one of those things everyone loves, but you usually have to go out and overpay to get them. You can get them pre-made in the store to deep fry at home…but that means hauling out the deep fryer and running the risk of cheesy explosions. No one wants that. The cheese stays…
Old Bay Cheddar Bacon Fries Recipe

Tomato Basil and Bacon Soup with Bacon Parmesan Crisp
Did you read all those words? I really don’t need to say more, do I? I like to think of this as the perfect party or family dish. Not so much in serving, but more time is needed to invest in preparation. The parmesan crisps is a simple and easy recipe. The tomato soup takes…

Turducken Bacon Gravy
This gravy is out-of-control delicious. You can do it with any roasted meat but when the mix of turkey, chicken and fatty glorious duck, this was one of the best gravies I have ever had. I had my turducken wrapped in bacon of course, so when it came time to crisp the skin I…
Bourbon Banana Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Say that three times fast! I love bananas, to the point that I could probably do myself bodily harm from eating too many…if that’s possible. Pancakes, bread, foster, frozen…or just plain peeled. The crazy part is I don’t care much for sweets. So in coming up with a muffin recipe, I wanted the flavors of…
