Hello from the Golden State yet again! So for today’s post I thought I would talk about one of my top 25 foods of all time – BACON. It came to me as I was eating the hot complimentary breakfast at the Holiday Inn the past couple of days. Of course I scanned the whole buffet before I started to fill my plate. I was somewhat shocked that there was no bread option outside of biscuits with gravy, but everything was good once I saw the large tray of crispy bacon.
Eating some breakfast and thinking about what to write, I thought that I would share with you 7 ways to cook with bacon that have been featured on zesty.
So here goes….
1. Bacon on Pizza
Whether it is traditional pizza using some leftovers or a kicked up portabella pizza – bacon is a great addition.
2. Chutney
I feature two chutney’s ( Apple Bacon Chutney and Pear Bacon Chutney ) so far and both were out of this world yummy. I attribute that to the bacon and to the slow cooking.
3. Bacon and Eggs with a Twist
One of my all time sunday morning favorites “Bacon and Eggs”. Try these fun little twists on a classic – Bacon and Eggs in a Bowl or a 2 minute Bacon Broccoli Scrambled Egg.
4. Bacon Wrapped Fruit
Once introduced to this lovely creation – I fell in love with Bacon wrapped Pineapple. Such a simple yet crowd pleasing treat.
5. Bacon in a Salad
I really do love adding bacon to many salads. I think i like the salty flavor it adds as well as the crunch. The one listed here is not your traditional salad, but this was very tasty with both the crunch walnuts and the firmness of the asparagus.
6. Bacon with Potatoes
Oh yeah – you cannot forget this incredible combination. Try kicking it up a notch at your next gathering with sweet potato skins with Bacon. These babies are amazing.
7. Bacon Mac and Cheese
Well well well… this is a must try if you love mac and cheese. The bacon really takes this over the roof and will make you very very happy.
So there you have it! A fun look at bacon and all its glory. Feel free to share this with your friends using the toolbar on the bottom. Have yourself a great Thursday and I will see you back in Canada on Friday.
Take care
zesty

OMG I love bacon and want to put it in everything. Def one of my favorite foods. The bacon mac ‘n cheese looks amazing. Drool.
I was just saying this past weekend… “I think you can put bacon on cardboard and it would still taste good”. I love the sweet potato skins idea… thanks, I will have to try it.
I could give up pork but not the bacon.
Bacon in a salad and on a potato are my two favorites
Oh, and bacon on a BLT, with egg of course! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bacon!
ah, of course I see this when I have no bacon in the house
I need some so I can try this chutney!
I will take the sweet potatoes and the pineapple please

I love love love bacon. I recently tried a chocolate bar with a hint of bacon and a bacon bloody mary. So delicious!
I remember seeing your Asparagus Bacon Walnut salad on here several months ago, and I tried it with tempeh bacon–fantastic! I even posted about it last week. Thanks for the idea:)
BACON!
Love the post.
I love bacon period! hehehe I’m loving the idea of bacon mac and cheese. That’s something I have no tried before.
I love bacon!! These are great ideas.. Someone mentions bacon with mac and cheese once but I completely forgot about it until now.
Bacon is definitely a most versitile food, and kicks up so many dishes! I must say though, my favourite is the classic bacon cheese burger – you can’t go wrong there. Bacon wrapped scallops might have to be a close second though
So many of these ideas are perfect party foods. I’ll definitely keep these in mind as the holiday season approaches.
