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.

Well, I'd be remiss in calling my website a beer related site if I failed to report Craft Beer Week this week (May 16-22), and even in that case, I'm guilty of reporting it a day late. The good news is that it's not too late to celebrate and BevMo wants to help you with that by offering specials on Craft Beers this week.

The original recipe that I found refers to this as a soup, but if anything I'd call it a stew. Even then, the beans do a pretty good job of soaking up every last bit of liquid in the crock pot so I probably wouldn't call it a stew either. This is a recipe where you throw everything in the crock pot, go to work or shopping or for a massage, and come back to a hot meal in a few hours.

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!
Read More…St Peters Cream Stout St Peters Brewery Co
A few months back, we took a weekend trip to Palm Springs. Before checking into our magnificent hotel, we stopped at a wine shop that was supposed to have a sangiovese that we enjoy but is a bit difficult to find in stores. The shop didn't have the wine. They did have a small but thoughtful beer selection. I am under the impression that the owner takes great care in curating the beers they sell there, because there is only a limited selection and much of it is from small local breweries. The first beer we tried was the St. Peter's Cream Stout from St. Peter's Brewery Company, a drink only available at 2 stores in Los Angeles.

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.
