Baked Carmel Coffee Donuts

I have a huge weakness for donuts. I love Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme and homemade donuts most of all. I even spent one summer working at Krispy Kreme before I started college.

Bacon S'mores

On one of our trips to Florida several years ago the hotel we were staying at had a bonfire pit especially for roasting s’mores. Even though it was 90 degrees outside we spent the night by the fire so I teach Alex about the delights of the s’more. We ended up eaten alive by mosquitoes but the s’mores were worth it.

Bacon Cornbread

I made these cornbread muffins all the way back for Thanksgiving! I never seem to be able to get over my blogging backlog. This is a pure savory muffin with bacon, a little bit of bacon grease and almost no sugar.

There is a whole 5 days dedicated to bacon right here this week! I’m kicking things off with reviews for two bacon cookbooks. It’s a specialty cooking topic but it’s absolutely a versatile ingredient and with a little imagination it’s easy to see how two cookbooks have 100 recipes each dedicated only to bacon. Both have taken a novel idea and turned it into substance.
