The Price is…Bacon!

Naughty Little Brownie

Blogging is hard work, you know? Eating bacon. Writing about eating bacon. Thinking about eating and writing about bacon. It wears on a girl. We recently got a beautiful package in the mail from Leigh at Naughty Bits Brownies. And…

Scallops with Creamy Bacon Sauce

Okay, my husband is officially the best. He's a diver and a spearfisherman, and I'm extremely fortunate to be the beneficiary of those skills. While he's very selective and judicious about how much he takes, I have certainly had my…

Bacon Meatballs

Last month I came up with this little recipe in order to participate in a Spaghetti Western fundraiser...you can't do a pasta event without meatballs, right? Turns out, the meatballs were a hit and, since my husband missed that event,…

Is there such a thing as too much pork?

This weekend while the husband and I were biking around downtown, we decided to stop at Union Ale and grab a sandwich and a beer. Because, you know, casually rolling around in 75 degree weather is thirsty work. I meant to…

Cowboy Up

  It's that time of year again when RBS gets involved with a Genesis West fundraiser. This year, it's a Spaghetti Western theme with a wide and weird variety of pastas, full-on barnyard atmosphere (live animals included), and a classic…

Bacon Ice Cream on the Go

Santa Barbara has seen a rash of mobile food eateries pop up in the past year or so, as seen here in John Dickson's Food Truck Guide. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest things that can happen…

I mentioned way back in October that Naseem and I were going to start doing some races under the moniker of Team Bacon. We started with 5K runs and...well, honestly that's all I've really bothered to do over the past…

And the Winner is…

We recently entered a contest hosted by our sponsor, Foodbuzz. It was a BACON recipe contest, and we felt it would be an embarrassment not to enter. Because, you know, we're a bacon blog. We were not victorious (an outrage!) but I…

BLT for the Modern Man

If you're a bacon lover, then you probably have your own special recipe for the perfect BLT. (Incidentally, if you're not a bacon lover, you may have steered yourself to the wrong site.) I've always loved a simple sandwich on…

Say Cheese…and Meat!

Okay, after yesterday's post I got an email with the following photo which, in my opinion, totally kicks the meat manger scene's ass. I mean, the manger scene is hilarious, but would you check out the artistry on this thing?…

Bacon at Wendy’s

A representative of Wendy's contacted us recently and asked if we'd like to try some of their menu items, particularly their new "Pick Two" promotion, where you get two items for $4.99. Neither Naseem nor I had been to Wendy's…
