Baseball Trip Wrap Up
Our annual baseball trip has been over for a week, and I have been too lazy to update. We finished up our trip with two days in Detroit and three days in Toronto. Detroit was easily the worst place I have ever visited. I was naive to think that all of the horror stories I've heard about it were exaggerated, but I can confirm that they are indeed true. We stayed in the Westin renovated Book-Cadillac hotel and it was wonderful. The rest of downtown seemed incredibly deserted, with so many abandoned glorious skyscrapers in the process of decay, that I wasn't all that interested in seeing the city. Toronto on the other hand was wonderful. We stayed right on the harbor, which was in walking distance of just about everything. I hope to make it back there sometime.

It's time for our annual baseball trip. I'm in our hotel room right now in downtown Cincinnati having just returned from watching the Cubs lose another pathetic game to the Reds. I don't have much to say about Cincinnati or the Great American Ballpark, although stopping here was an opportunity to see a good friend I haven't seen in a year. Whereas other ballparks we have gone to have featured a lot of regional food that represents what the city might be known for, Great American Ballpark seemed to have about 12 different varieties of hot dog stand. So, either I'm misinformed, or Cincinnati is known for hot dogs.

Read More…Bacon and Cheddar Muffins
For the last year, my breakfast of choice has been muffins. I find them filling, versatile, cheap, easy to store, and even easier to eat on the go. A few weeks back, sweet muffins and I had a falling out and we needed some time apart. Mostly it was that every muffin began to taste the same so I wanted to make the switch to savory for a change. Enter Bacon and Cheddar Muffins, adopted from nestMeg. Bacon and cheese in muffin form? Yup, these are a definite make again.

The article seems credible, but I'm having a hard time believing it's true. The guys that brought us Baconnaise and Bacon Salt are moving into baby formula because the fat content helps developing brains. It's crazy enough to believe, I suppose.

I like to do my cooking for the week on Sundays. Most weeks I'll look for something new. It allows me to try new recipes (bonus!), but also on the weeks that I don't feel like cooking, it makes it easy to go back to something I've made before. My criteria for new lunch recipes is pretty simple. The most important thing is that it's not something that I'd feel guilty eating for 5 days. Sometimes that might mean it just has to include a bunch of veggies or beans, and other times it just might mean that the recipe doesn't call for cream or butter. It really varies from week to week, depending on how bad I feel from eating like a glutton over the weekend. The other criteria are pretty easy to fulfill - I need to be able to make it in a big enough batch for 5 days, it needs to keep well for 5 days, and it shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Enter How Sweet It Is's Warm White Bean and Spinach Salad. There is no doubt this one meets all of my requirements, and as an added bonus, it has bacon!

It speaks for itself. Read More…Bacon and Asparagus Crustless Quiche
For the last 8 months, I've been baking muffins once every other week to have everyday for breakfast. I have finally hit the point where I feel like I just don't have another muffin recipe left to try and there isn't one I'm ready to revisit, so I'm taking a temporary detour for the next few weeks with a Bacon and Asparagus Crustless Quiche. In an attempt to make it a health conscious breakfast, I've omitted the crust and used 2% milk in place of cream. Between the bacon and the cheese there is plenty of full fat flavor. It's not as rich as a traditional quiche, but I also don't feel guilty for eating it. This makes a great breakfast, but would also make an excellent brunch or lunch dish for a group of people or a special occasion.

On some levels this makes me sad. But, there is a special place in my heart for Denny's. That place buried deep in the recesses of my heart, where it's perpetually 2am and I'm drunk. At least they're celebrating with a 2 for 1 coupon for Maple Bacon ice Cream!
