Baked White Beans with Bacon and Breadcrumbs

Oh, spring, you tricky little vixen.  You’re hot, you’re cold.  You’re sunny, you’re rainy.  If it weren’t for the air being slightly, wondrously scented with the hint of rain, and the daffodils poking their heads through the grass, and the fuzz of green buds covering

I’m kind of a terrible food blogger. Just kidding, I’m an amazing food blogger.  That’s why you’re here, right? Hello? Right?!

Lentils with Kale and Bacon

Lentils?! Kale?!  What the…. ?!  Oh, phew, it’s ok: Bacon.  That, right there, folks, was my thought process while looking at this recipe.  This is another recipe that falls under the category of not-quite-sure-why-I tried-it, but also the sure-glad-I-did one.  Whooee, that was a lot of

Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing

Brie, Bacon, and Red Onion Burgers

It’s been a particularly frigid winter in the Chicago area, with lots of days spent inside drinking tea and dreaming of summer.  A frequently recurring daydream around here involves the smell of burgers on the grill with a cold beer in hand, lounging around in 

Bacon Chipotle Meatloaf

Those of you who have hung around for a while remember that a few years ago, I presented you with the golden rule of bacon, namely, “When in doubt, wrap it in bacon.”  Well, that still obviously holds true, but now I have a slight 

Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good

Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good

Now, I know that I’ve been quite the delinquent lately.  For this, I apologize.  But you didn’t think I’d let the week before Thanksgiving go by without so much as a peep, did you?  There are too many fabulous food-related things to talk about this
