Bacon-Fest was a big, sizzling hit again this year!  So many fantastic recipes were linked up.  Many were great for Super Bowl parties, so you may want to check the list out for those.  It’s not too late to add your link too.

Here are a few that caught my eye:

BLT Dip (photo above) from Giving Up on Perfect – I could just dive into this dip!

Grilled Bacon Guacamole Pizza from Crumbs and Chaos combines some of my favorite flavors.

This Zuppa Toscana from Finding Joy in My Kitchen is on my list to make soon!

Loaded Baked Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole from Makin’ in Mo’ Betta looks like a real crowd pleaser.

I love this idea for giving your man some “roses” – Bacon Bouquet from Will Cook for Smiles

Next Wednesday, Finding Joy in My Kitchen will host Ingredient Spotlight.  She’s doing a double ingredient party focusing on recipes that use both Beef and Tomatoes.

Today is Ingredient Spotlight and we’re focusing on Citrus.  But the party is being hosted over at Finding Joy in My Kitchen.

I’m going to be adding my links over there and I invite you to pop over and add your citrus recipes too.  We could all use a burst of sunshine and vitamin C during these dreary January days.

Sara and I are working on a new Ingredient Spotlight schedule for the year.  I think you’re going to like it!  We’ll share it as soon as we have it finalized.

This week for Ingredient Spotlight, we focused on tea and treats that pair well with tea.  There were several scone recipes shared and I wanted to highlight them here today.  There’s still time to add your recipe using tea or to enjoy with tea.

First up are Strawberry Scones from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom.  These would be perfect with a cup of English Tea Time.

Chai Latte Scones from Makin’ It Mo’Betta look fabulous, especially if I paired one with Vanilla Chai tea.

Finally, Cinnamon Eggnogg Scones from Kitty’s Kozy Kitchen would be great on a cold, winter day.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I’m participating in Finding Joy in My Kitchen’s Best of 2012 series.

I either don’t make many snacks and appetizers or I don’t categorize them as such on my blog.  I’ve only got 3 to share with you today.

Grab and Go Bars are a favorite way to stock the freezer.  The kids love it when they find these in there.

110 Calorie Ice Cream Sandwiches are much cheaper than buying them.

We loved this Pesto Bruschetta Spread.

Today for Joy in My Kitchen’s Best of 2012 series, we’re sharing soups and breads.

How to Make Whole Wheat Bread by Hand

Spoon Bread with Swiss – a different kind of bread, but delicious

Cheddar Chive Freezer Biscuits

Pumpkin Black Bean Chicken Chili

Hamburger Pasta Soup

Light and Healthier Potato Soup

Quick and Easy Tomato Basil Soup

Chicken and Gnocchi Dumpling Soup

Black Bean and Butternut Squash Soup

This week, I’m participating in the Best of 2012 series with Joy in My Kitchen.  Today we’re talking breakfast.  I hope you’re getting to read this in your pj’s with a cup of coffee in hand.

The photo above comes from a post I wrote about how to keep breakfast simple.  Simple and easy is how we roll on most days.  But sometimes we do make a more elaborate breakfast.

Here are some favorites from 2012.

5 Minute Breakfast Sandwich

Pumpkin Pecan Sticky Rolls

Ingredient Spotlight: Canned Biscuits and Crescents – lot of good breakfast stuff here
