Better with Bacon, Morning Edition – Bacon Sushi…

Do you like bacon?  Of course you do!

Do you like eggs?  I don’t, but you might.

Do you like sushi?  Or at least the concept of a bunch of goodness in a roll of rice and seaweed?

Do you feel adventurous?

Do you just wish I’d get to the point?

It’s bacon and egg “sushi” people!

Remarkably this post was originally written in Oct. 2009.  How the hell did I miss this?

Better with Bacon – Tomato and Bacon Guacamole

Top Chef Master himself, Mr. Rick Bayless, shared this recipe over at Good Morning America’s site on ABC.com

This from Rick:

This is kind of a no-brainer, bacon, lettuce and tomato being such a beloved sandwich combo, especially when there’s a good smear of mayo. This guacamole is in the same vein, except that the tangy, creamy mayo is replaced by avocado and lime. Come to think of it, the avocado, along with a little cilantro, brings the lettuce-green to the picture as well. It’s a perfect Mexican-American fusion of smoky, bright, creamy, fresh and satisfying.

Better with Bacon – Bourbon Bacon Pecan Pie

OH…..MY…..GAWD!!!!!

This could be the best recipe EVER.  I truly have to admire their ingenuity.  You wouldn’t think to add bacon to a pecan pie but now that you hear it, it just MAKES SENSE!!!

Direct quote from the recipes creator:

This recipe is a modified version of Paula Dean’s Bourbon Pecan Pie. At the Pumplin Thanksgiving 08 Celebration, I found myself eating some homemade pecan pie and thinking there was something missing. I’ve always been a huge fan of pecan pie, but it sometimes borders on just too sweet for me. So, while talking with the fam about this conundrum, I thought, “What if I added bacon?” It was a moment of brilliance, where the heavens opened, angels sang and the great spirit of bacon shone down on pecan pie and made it whole.

Moment of brilliance indeed!!!
