Oh, bacon.
I never would have considered myself a huge fan of bacon. I am not especially drawn to eating pork, no matter the cut. But bacon.
Did you know that if you fry a few strips of bacon, let them sit in paper towels until the towels have soaked up the fat then add crushed up bits of bacon to puff pastry (along with sharp cheese, carmelized onions and a little garlic salt) you get an amazing and filling appetizer?
This is a quick, easy crowd pleaser. Need I say more? My family was thrilled!
Who's That Girl
- Create. Snap. Eat.
- WHO'S THAT GIRL: A higher education obsessed foodie who is documenting her life in the kitchen. I love to cook delicious, gourmet-style foods for those I love and always welcome a challenge in the kitchen. With that challenge comes an impromptu nature. I tend to avoid following recipes to the exact, so you are not likely to find very many posted here. Being that I am a Libra and am learning to be free in the kitchen, the story always goes, "A pinch of this and a smattering of that!" Thank you for visiting -- and happy reading!
