Oh my gosh! Where do I start with this one...
..today, August 31, 2013
is
INTERNATIONAL BACON DAY !!!!
...shout it loud and clear from the rooftops...
(well at least I'm excited about it)
I love bacon...bacon....bacon...gimme some bacon !!
Seriously, as a child I refused to eat it. I thought it was just nothing but
fat and couldn't understand why everybody loved it so much...
....now it's one of my friends...yes I know it's considered 'unhealthy'
and I know I have to limit how much I eat it ....
but I can still have fun with honoring this holiday ?
My recipe box of family recipes has a lot that involve bacon...
bacon hotdish...Spanish Rice with bacon...bacon omelet...
bacon pizza and on and on...
...my personal favorite is hamburger and bacon casserole where
you use both...yum...
so anyway...in recognition of International Bacon Day and since I
couldn't sleep long last night I set out to find some unique things
about bacon that I could put on here...
...first I started on a 'unique' recipes including bacon search and came up with these...
Bacon Brittle

Here are a few simple little bacon recipes I also found at the same website...
Bacon Butter
(isn't this one tempting...it would be so good on crackers)
..so easy to make too...
This is how you make this one:
1. Cook 2 slices of bacon.
2. Drain and chop into small pieces.
3. Blend 1 stick of butter, bacon drippings from pan and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
4. Stir in the chopped bacon.
(Note: I am going to try this without the maple syrup)

Bacon Buns
1. Chop 1/4 cup cooked ham and 1/4 cup crumbled bacon.
2. Place one tablespoon in the center of a refrigerator biscuit. (like Pillsbury)
3. Fold in half and crimp edges together.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
