Cobb Salad with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing
I’m over winter. Officially over winter. After getting a foot of snow here in Minneapolis last weekend, I am begging it to stop. I’m screaming uncle. I’m ready to move on to sunny days and warm temperatures. It is time for salads on the deck with a good book. Like this Cobb Salad with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing.

Bacon Olive Oil Smashed Potatoes
I am a carb addict. It’s true. A few years ago, I tried to do the whole low-carb thing and let’s just say, I wasn’t a pleasant person for a while. I have no problems passing up a tray of sweets, but salty carbs? Don’t get in my way. That is especially true for roasted potatoes. I love them prepared just about any way, but these Bacon Olive Oil Smashed Potatoes are my new favorite thing. As some of you may know, we’ve partnered with Queen Creek Olive Mill in Arizona to feature some of their amazing oils and vinegars throughout the year. We have been long time fans of their amazing products and I make it a point to get out to the olive mill each time I’m in the Phoenix area (I have serious cravings for the prickly pear lemonade and the olive oil cupcakes!). They recently sent us some fun product to try and the first thing I couldn’t wait to use was their amazing Bacon Olive Oil. You guys, I have been putting this stuff on everything. It’s such an easy way to add that great savory bacon flavor to eggs, salads, or in this case, potatoes. …
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
I was originally going to bring you an ooey-gooey dessert this week. And don’t worry, I will still bring you that particular deliciousness (after all it’s good to have something to look forward to, or so my parents always told me!) -but you’re going to have to wait until next week. Instead I have a more savory treat for you. Luckily for me (and now you), I had the most amazing gift brought to me this week. My fabulous neighbor, Heather, brought me a windfall of vegetables from her inlaws’ cabin garden (find them at TheCabinGarden.com). These jalapeños are just begging to be made into these Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers! (and if you have any good eggplant recipes, leave them in the comments below-please and thank you.)

BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger
Ready for another cabin story? Well, sorry to disappoint. The only story here is that I was hungry (Well, I guess technically I WAS at the cabin). Hungry for a burger. A home grilled, oozy, gooey, flavorful burger. A BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. And I wasn’t going to stop until I got it. …
Avocado Toast with Bacon and Sriracha
I just experienced Avocado Toast for the first time. And definitely not the last time. In fact it is a new favorite!
So goodness knows this blog isn’t political-after all everyone needs to eat no matter what your political leaning. And we love all of our friends and viewers regardless. But that’s not to say that Holly and I don’t have very strong views and opinions (and luckily we agree). The last few months have made it very clear that much needs to be done to bring us together as a country and to heal us as a nation. The big disagreement seems to be in exactly how to do this. We need to find common ground and we may need to start small. Truly though, I think we can all agree that anything that limits our access to avocados is a bad plan. A bad plan indeed. This Avocado Toast with Bacon and Sriracha will show you just how bad of a plan……
Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza
Another trip to the cabin this weekend introduced me to my new favorite food. Although I must admit I was skeptical at first, this Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza quickly won me over. And now I’m introducing this pizza to you. You. Are. Welcome. …
Buffalo Bacon Macaroni and Cheese
Happy one year Blogiversary to us! We’ve been officially bringing you delicious food for ONE FULL YEAR! And what a year it was! In fact I’m not sure any other year has ever gone so fast! Our little blog duo has officially seen a new baby born (congrats Holly), a preschooler whose world was rocked by a new baby sister, a child who started kindergarten, and a teenager who has hit her stride. Holly and I are both another year older and wiser in our full time careers and yes, we’re both still married (Holly 10 years and myself 18 years) despite crazy chaotic schedules and demands (yay, guys-thanks for hanging in there with us!). But even more exciting, we’re both still loving blogging and bringing you our favorite recipes! For me, this would include this Buffalo Bacon Macaroni and Cheese which is pure, unadulterated decadence! …
Bourbon Bacon Meatloaf
My teenage daughter recently said to me “Mom, you don’t need to put bacon in everything!” with the exasperated sigh that all teenagers use when dealing with their mothers. Hmmm…we may be speaking different languages, because I sure don’t understand this comment! (Don’t worry, I’ll be checking her room for drugs, right after I finish writing this, because really-who says this?) Bacon? Bacon belongs on everything. Bacon should be it’s own food group. Bacon is life. Like this Bourbon Bacon Meatloaf. If you agree with me, or know someone that agrees with me…keep reading……
Chipotle Caesar Salad
It is possible some of you are going to say I took too many liberties with this Chipotle Caesar Salad, and maybe that is true. If you are looking for a very traditional version of a caesar salad-well, you may have to keep looking. This salad isn’t your mother’s caesar salad after all. This salad features a lighter Caesar dressing, a hint of spicy chipotle and best of all bacon. And if this doesn’t intrigue you, well maybe we weren’t meant to be friends after all……
