What’d You Do Last Weekend?

I'm sure you still have mint in your garden, so why not try to make your own mint chocolate chip ice cream? Cacao nibs stand-in for chocolate chips in this grown-up version.

Bacon Pecan Bars

Bacon Pecan Bars

I'd seen a recipe for Bacon Pecan Bars recently and was dying to give them a try. What could go together better? I love bacon pecan waffles, and hoped that these would translate just as well. I made a few miscalculations along the way that resulted in bars that were less than I'd expected, but I think with a few adjustments these would be great next time.


Bacon and Goat Cheese Quiche

Posted by jenny on 08/03/2008

I don't know what I was thinking - well, I knew we had a log of goat cheese that needed to be eaten, and a tiny bit of home-cured bacon in the fridge that wouldn't be enough for a real meal. I decided at the last minute to make a quiche. That's not the surprising part, quiches are a piece of cake. It's always the crust that causes me to catch my breath.

Breakfast Sausage Mixins

Our first weekend with Timmy was a whirlwind of productivity. We got ambitious and worked on 2 different kinds of sausage, and Todd also cured pancetta and bacon! I've covered the bacon recipe before, and Pancetta is pretty close but I'm going to list it too. All of the recipes in this post come from Ruhlman/Polcyn's Charcuterie.


Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwiches

What's so special about a BLT, you ask? And why does it warrant a post of its own?
Because with the last piece of pork belly, Todd and I made bacon. Actually, Todd did all of the hard work of curing and seasoning it. I just smoked it. And let me tell you...it was the best damn bacon we'd had in a very long time.
