I’m making Toll House cookies the other day (the absolute best chocolate chip cookie recipe – bar NONE – I will not even hear your comments to the contrary) when a light pops over my head…

There is bacon that I cooked in the fridge, I write a bacon blog and since day one I have consistently run into stories/recipes for chocolate chip bacon cookies.

Hmmmmm.  How could this NOT be a good idea?

So with one trays worth of dough left, it was time to add the bacon!

Let’s get our cooking on, shall we? [Read more →]

So that’s it…

From “The Independent” out of Great Britain…

Experts at Leeds University spent more than 1,000 hours tasting 700 variations of the bacon sandwich to cook up a formula for the perfect butty. The secret lies in how crispy and crunchy your rashers are. Their recipe for success is N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta where N = force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb = function of the bacon type, fc = function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts = serving temperature, tc = cooking time, ta = time or duration of application of condiment or filling, cm = cooking method and C = Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Let me restate that for you:

N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta

When you put it like that, it ALL makes sense!

Today’s recipe is a little more involved then those I typically gravitate too, but it’s looked and sounded so good that I thought I share.

It actually comes from Melissa d’Arabian, who was the winner of this last season’s “The Next Food Network Star”

Way back in the beginning of March, when this little blog was just starting out and finding our way, our bacon news gathering skills where still in their infancy.  That is the only reason I can come up with for NOT SEEING THIS SOONER!

I dare say it puts the Bacon Explosion to shame.  If only for it’s shear creativity!

Just in time for dinner, behold the Porkgasm:

I won’t even try to explain what has been done here…just direct you to their website where you can see how this little piggy was created.

Allow me to being a slow clap……..NOW

I’m a BIG fan of a good bean soup and this looked real tasty!!  This would be a great dinner after a long day raking leaves or just sittin’ on your butt watchin’ football (which really would be more like it with me…).

Nice job Sandy! Recipe after the jump. [Read more →]

You want simple and easy bacon recipes?  Well you don’t get simpler than this…and at this time of year with your (my) garden spewing forth cherry tomatoes…

Bacon and Cherry Tomato Skewers

Ingredients:

• Bacon
• Cherry Tomatoes

Directions:

1. Cut each strip of bacon in thirds lengthwise.
2. Wrap each bacon piece around a cherry tomato and thread them onto skewers.
3. Grill over a medium fire until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. If the fire starts to flare up, move the skewers to the cool side of the grill until the flare-up dies down.

Enjoy!

Simple, easy, probably not good for you, but I am sure as heck thinkin’ it’s tasty!

Imagine this with some homemade potato chips…YUM!
