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 – Broccoli Bacon Salad
As a kid, I hated broccoli! Still not a huge fan of it even through I know how good it is for me. I will only eat it 1) raw or 2) VERY lightly sauteed.
You all know that I LOVE BACON…that much is true.
So take some of that tasty, tasty meat and mix with raw broccoli and you’ve got something that even a non-broc lover like me would down by the spoonful.

It’s Broccoli Bacon Salad – courtesy of The Savory Sweet Life blog. Hit the jump for the recipe: [Read more →]
