Skillet Bacon Jam: Not for the Eyes, Made for the Tastebuds!

 I love to be creative in the kitchen, and Skillet Bacon Jam has been a fun addition to my creativity. I think everything tastes better with bacon, and with Skillet Bacon Jam, it was far easier to make happen. I don't like the bacon mess cleanup, and Skillet Bacon Jam eliminated that while still giving me the bacon flavor.

When it arrived, I was excited. I opened the sample jar, and it didn't look very appealing, but I'm not one to let that stop me--especially when it comes to bacon! Besides, I had read about Skillet Bacon Jam on their website and discovered this about them:

We make this bacon spread condiment called bacon jam..you say what?.. that’s right, we use niman ranch bacon and render it down along with onions, balsamic and other spices. It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet….basically spreadable bacony goodness!  USDA approved.

Spreadable bacony goodness? How could anyone resist that!? The kiddos thought it smelled like hot off the stove bacon, and we tried a little straight from the jar. It was really good!
 
I mean, really? The jam is made of quality bacon, reduced down, mixed with onions and spices and simmered to perfection!
 
I wasn't sure what to do with it--to be honest, I was ready to just get a spoon and eat it straight from the jar, but sharing is something I've been working on, so....I made burgers, and then I mixed the bacon spread in with ranch dressing, and we used it as a topping. It was really, really good. The flavor of bacon was a great touch. There are more recipes on Skillet's recipe page.
 
I loved that there was no bacon grease to clean up, but I could still have the flavor of bacon. It's a unique flavor that we've spread on top of bread, mixed in with green beans (this was my favorite) and more!
 
Don't let the appearance of the Bacon Jam deter you from tasting it. It has great flavor and is an easy add-in for almost anything! It's available through Skillet Bacon Jam's Website.
 
 
 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can...

Desert Thunder--Speedway Illustrated December 2009

 Long before the Modified Circuit knew him, I met him. It was a long, long time ago...almost 25 years ago. He was seventeen a legend in motor-cross and destined for greater things than he'd ever imagined I met him in a sterile hospital with over-polished floors. The decor a bland grey and muted blue . I was sixteen, he was seventeen. It was seven weeks since our birthday. I don't remember him before that moment. I've written about him several times in my blog. Perhaps you remember " Reflections of a Friendship " or " Best Friends". To see him now, featured on the cover of Speedway Magazine's December 2009 issue is impressive. It's not anything I ever doubted he could do. It's not something that defines him to me. It's something that shares with the world the man I most admire--the man who is more whole, more complete than any other person I have been fortunate to meet. Enjoy this tribute written by Mike Adaskaveg and published by Speedwa...
