Everything's better with bacon, right? Well a lot of us think so anyway, including me and my DH. I made these bacon-wrapped Hungarian-hot peppers stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, mild Hungarian-style sausage, bread crumbs, roasted garlic, a touch of diced tomato, some diced kale, and...

This happened because I started to think of tomato ketchup as a cousin to gochujang. This got me to thinking of other East – West family relations. When I make a burger, I make it with kimchi and pickled onions, with a spicy mayo. But, that would be too obvious here. So, I made this the way I...

How do you like your bacon? #2 if I'm doing scallops wrapped in bacon. Then I put a little bit of ground black pepper on it & cook it just until light brown. A deceased friend told me how to do it. I hit it right on the nail the first time around!! Came out good & everyone liked it!!! #3 if I...

This is so good and filling

This has been trending for a while now, but I just could pay the price, so I made my own!

I've adapted this recipe from the July edition of the Vegan Food & Living Magazine. I've used their Aubergine bacon and my prefered vegan cheese sauce. You'll need a very sharp knife and very fresh aubergines in order to make this work and resemble in appearance, traditional bacon pieces. Mine...

I’ve often thought that fresh bay leaves were a rather underused herb. The way I’ve used them in the past is to add one or two leaves to a stew, soup or marinade or maybe to decorate the top of a pâté. Here I thought I’d bring their savoury yet floral taste to the fore. Luckily I have an...

The aniseed flavour of Pernod is a lovely combination with sweet mussels and salty, smoky bacon. This is an easy dish to prepare. I used semi skimmed milk to create the sauce but you could use cream if you prefer. Serve with some crusty bread to mop up the juice. Ingredients (serves 2) 500g...

This is a favorite appetizer recipe of mine (and my husband and kids), and something I have made many, many times. The combination of delicious fresh shrimp surrounded by a creamy mixture of cheese and spices stuffed into a spicy jalapeño and then wrapped in bacon? What's not to love? When I...
