Bacon Strips Adhesive Banages and Uncle Oinker's Bacon Mints

Greetings fellow lovers!

My good friend Kat sent me a neat little bacon "care package" today!

Kat told me there'd be a surprise in the box and Kat did not disappoint!

The bacon mints have a nice hint of bacon amongst their minty flavor.

So a big thanks to my friend Kat for this package!

Kettle Brand Maple Bacon Potato Chips

Greetings, fellow bacon lovers!

My sister's best friend, Kim suggested I try these chips.

They are Kettle Brand Maple Bacon potato chips.  They are available at Whole Foods.

For health conscious bacon lovers, take heart they have no trans fat, MSG, preservatives, gluten, or GMOs.

They are also only 150 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated and polyunsaturated fat each, and 7 grams of monounsaturated fat.  No cholestorol, and 400 grams of potassium.

Now with all the health stuff out of the way, how does it taste?

At first I was hit with a sugary, maple taste, but as I chewed on the chip, that flavor turned into the salty, bacon-y flavor.  And I think it was excellent(and I am not really a big fan of "kettle" chips.)

These chips are available at Whole Foods and as I end up at Whole Foods once a month picking up gluten free bread for our church communion, I'll be sure to pick up more of these chips.

Thanks for reading and happy baconing!

Bacon Cinnamon Rolls!

Greetings fellow bacon lovers!

Today I decided to try a recipe I found herehttp://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/bacon-cinnamon-rolls/c268a5e7-46af-4de1-9edf-d8e7996a4a60.

So I have my ingredients:

(Yes I guess you could say I cheated and used pre-cooked, but I think the pre-cooked is just as tasty as the real thing.)

What you're supposed to do it cook the bacon per package instructions, using one strip of bacon per cinnamon roll(ie, 8 rolls=8 strips of bacon), disassemble the cinnamon rolls, put the slightly cooked bacon inside the rolls, and roll them back up.  I learned an important this time, next time, use Grands cinnamon rolls.  But these will do in a pinch.  I say to use Grands is because you can unroll the rolls easier.

Here they are ready to go into the oven.  I used a bundt pan because our metal roll pan is MIA.  But the bundt pan will work too(Thanks, America's Test Kitchen!)

I put them in a 400 degree oven(according to cinnamon roll directions) for 14 minutes(in retrospect I should have done 12 or 13 but I think they came out good(and even my Mom said they were tasty!)

And there you have the final product. 

I think this was a nice savory addition to the cinnamon rolls, and who am I kidding, everything's better with bacon!

Thanks for reading and happy baconing!
