As I mentioned during the Bacon Day posts, Rocco from BaconFreak gave us A LOT of bacon. We had already purchased many pounds of bacon ourselves, so were not able to use it all on Bacon Day. Fortunately, this means…

OMG! These look so good, and so easy to make. The brilliant Mr. B over at Bacon Today came up with this crafty idea, and I cannot wait to try it. Basically, you buy a tube of pre-made cinnamon rolls,…

Alexa from International Bacon Day wrote to tell me that Austin, the creator of Bacon Boy, is not doing well. As you may have read, Austin has leukemia and recently received a bone marrow transplant to battle the disease. Let's…

The October '08 edition of Bon Appetit magazine has this wonderful looking recipe for Cornish game hens with a corn bread and sage stuffing. Coincidentally, my husband had the urge to buy Cornish game hens over the weekend, so…

I promise today is my last day posting about Bacon Day 2008, even though it's worth talking about for another week. We were fortunate at the last minute to get a "swag sponsor" by way of BaconFreak.com. Not only did…

Chrissy & Smiley: Two people you cannot help but love. These friends (and avid readers) brought their own special bacon tribute to the party...a tribute to the king of all bacon lovers himself: His Holy Elvis. As seen in this…

So I thought I would give Bacon Bourbon another try, because it absolutely had to be shared on Bacon Day. I had high hopes as I was using my favorite bourbon this time, Maker's Mark. It has a warm, slightly…

Bacon Day gave us a great excuse to try and share some of the recipes we've talked about on this site. The first, which I believe may be entirely original to Royal Bacon Society, was the Bacondoodle. It began with…

Okay, so it was our first Bacon Day ever. That doesn't make it any less spectacular. The Royal Bacon Society hosted a backyard party that will take me a good week to fully cover. It was a ton of fun…
