Cinnamon and Sugar Candied Bacon

  This is a no brainer when it comes to entertaining or parties. Tailgates, holiday parties, reunions or birthdays, you’ll always be on the invite list once you’re known as “the candied bacon person.” The dish is easy to whip up. Outside of non-meat/pork eaters, it fits most diets. The sweet cinnamon and sugar combo…

Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Traveling and eating are two of our favorite things.  When they can happen at the same time…BOOM goes the dynamite! This spring/summer was a heavy travel season for me and it proved delicious.

Old Bay Cheddar Bacon Fries Recipe
