Why don’t more mornings begin with buttery, maple-glazed donuts garnished with a generous sprinkling of real bacon bits? I’m willing to bet if more people ate these Maple Bacon Cake Donuts for breakfast, the world wouldn’t be so hostile. If you’re looking for a new recipe to add to your busy morning routines, I invite…

Quiche Lorraine (Egg, Bacon, and Gruyere Tart)
Quiche Lorraine is one of my family’s favorite things to eat. I’m a fan because it’s simple to assemble and bake. Eggs, milk, cheese, and bacon baked in pie crust. What’s hard about that? My family loves it because it’s a versatile dish. They get away with eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If…
Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese
My Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese- with its five cheese sauce and smoky bacon- is guaranteed to provide comfort. This post is sponsored by my friends at Danish Creamery, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. This move has been one of the hardest in my life; I’m not being dramatic, either. In my…
Texas-Style Baked Pinto Beans
We’re painting the entire upstairs of our home. It makes me want to lay down for another week. Our hope is that the Soldier will land a job down in San Antonio and we’ll need to put our house on the market. Like I said- it’s a hope. Since I’m all about not getting caught…
Bacon-Wrapped Brined Pork Loin with Mushroom Gravy

Bacon-Bourbon Jam Charcuterie Boards
This Bacon-Bourbon Jam recipe is a sponsored post brought to you by CuttingBoard.com. They provided products in exchange for my review, but as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own- especially the obnoxious ones. I am the self-dubbed, and not world-renowned, Queen of Charcuterie Boards. With the holidays fast approaching, I teamed up with my buddies…
Avocado-Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Bacon
It doesn’t matter if you leave for work every morning, or you spend every. Waking. Moment. At. Home. We all need to eat lunch. Sandwiches like this Avocado-Chicken Salad Sandwich are great to pack on-the-go, or for pulling out of the fridge. I homeschool our twins (which you probably already knew), and work from home…
Haricot Verts with Bacon and Portobello Mushrooms
Here in Central Texas, we’ve been enjoying Summer since, well, December. Nevertheless, I’m gearing up for it in the kitchen with vim and vigor! Seeing the arrival of haricot verts in my favorite farmer’s market sparked a new sense of, “Omigosh!! I have two weeks to get a six-pack!!” Now, I really had to be honest…who’s checking…
