Ingredient Spotlight: Bacon-fest!

January 4, 2012 by Tiffany King 19 Comments

Smokey, crisp strips of bacon sizzling in an iron skillet. Does it get any better than that?

For me, yes. It can get better if the bacon takes the starring role in a classic BLT sandwich. Toasted bread, iceberg lettuce, garden-fresh tomato, bacon and Miracle Whip. Fantastic!

I cannot wait to see all the recipes you’ve got for bacon! I’ve already started a Bacon Board on Pinterest with my bacon recipes. I’ll be adding many of yours as we go.

Share your recipes! Link up any recipe that uses bacon. Feel free to link as many as you like. Be sure to link back to Eat at Home in your blog post. You can use the button below, if you like.

Ingredient Spotlight: Vanilla and other extracts

Have you ever tried doubling the amount of vanilla in cookies or muffins? It can make them super yummy! Sometimes, I think we take vanilla for granted, treating it like a non-flavor. Vanilla done right is fantastic though.

I use other flavored extracts less often, but I do like to use coconut, lemon and peppermint. Here are a few of my recipes using extracts: [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: Vanilla and other extracts

I know, I know. Quick breads are not ingredients. But I needed your help and this was the best way I could think of to get it.

You see, I only have 3 recipes for quick breads on my blog and I love quick breads! That’s where you come in. I can’t wait to see the recipes you have for me.

I’m not even going to link to my recipes this week. I want to see what you’ve got!

Share your recipes! Link up your quick bread recipes (breads that use no yeast). Feel free to link as many as you like. Be sure to link back to Eat at Home in your blog post. You can use the button below, if you like. I’ve added the html for you.
