BACON & BROWN SUGAR PANCAKES WITH BACON-MAPLE SYRUP

BACON BACON BACON!!!!!!! Bring on the bacon, and lots of it. The amount of bacon for this recipe is TOTALLY UP TO YOU! Use as much or as little as you want, however I did provide you with a round-about estimate to get you started. You’d wanna crisp up at least 6 slices just to get you started — use a whole pack if you’re about that life(I'm about that life).
Bacon & Brown Sugar Pancakes
Pancakes are one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast, and I almost always have to have bacon alongside for that salty kick. Combining the two isn’t anything new, but here’s a recipe for you anyway. It’s incredibly easy to do, and very delicious. If you’re a fan of “salty/sweet”, then you’ll enjoy the smokey bits of salty bacon nestled into every sweet bite of buttery pancake goodness. The method is super simple, the ingredients aren’t too difficult, and the whole thing comes together in no time.
This recipe is dedicated to my girls in Houston, who I love dearly and can’t wait to see again. I love all three of you ladies <3 you know who you are ;)

INSTRUCTIONS
For the bacon-maple syrup:
  1. Pour ½ cup maple syrup into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in the brown sugar and bring to a soft simmer. Add the bacon and stir gently. Alternately, you can microwave the syrup until warm, about 20 to 40 seconds, then add the bacon.
  2. Turn off the heat and cover while you make the pancakes.
For the pancakes:
  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl to combine.
  2. Whisk egg, vanilla, and melted butter into the milk mixture (or buttermilk) until combined. Make well in center of dry ingredients in bowl; pour in milk mixture and whisk very gently until just combined (a few lumps should remain). Do not over mix.
  3. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes; add 1 teaspoon oil or butter and brush to coat skillet bottom evenly. If using an electric griddle, you can set the heat to the second highest or highest setting (depending on the strength of your griddle). Pour ¼ cup batter onto 3 spots on skillet; sprinkle bacon and brown sugar over each pancake. Cook pancakes until large bubbles begin to appear, 1½ to 2 minutes. Using thin, wide spatula, flip pancakes and cook until golden brown on second side, 1 to 1½ minutes longer. Serve immediately with butter and bacon-maple syrup, and repeat with remaining batter.

Homemade Beef Taco's

So I'm from Buffalo, and as the world know we had a snow storm that shut the city down for a week and a half. The only thing that kept me from getting cabin was these that i made. No  amount of snow was gonna stop me from making it happened. You already know how I feel about tacos. They’re my little pieces of heaven in a cruel and cold dog-eat-dog world. Tacos…are everything. These tacos are completely homemade. No kits. No seasoning packets. No boxed taco shells — which I’d still eat, but only in a pinch. There’s nothing better than frying your own corn tortillas for a taco, and this method I learned makes life so much easier. It takes just a few minutes to fry up the taco shells, and the crunch they provide is out of this world. These tacos are perfect — no orange grease running down your arm, perfectly seasoned, just hands down delicious. Once you make these, you won’t bother with the box kits…nothing beats the taste of homemade. Plus, you’ll feel so special knowing that ...

Pineapple Salsa

Yea…I do realize that it’s no longer summer, but when I have a craving for something…then I have to have it. I wanted a fresh, cool, sweet yet spicy burst of summer despite it being “ugg season”… This is delicious. It’s a very basic fruit salsa recipe that you can alter to make your own. You can add additional fruits if you want, different peppers, beans — anything you want. Make sure you use a red onion though, don’t use any other kind because it won’t taste right. Fruit salsas are excellent over savory meats such as chicken or steak, but they’re even better on seafood. This baby here provides you with freshness, brightness, sweetness and heat. I used 2 very tiny Serrano peppers for this recipe, and I left some of the seeds from one in and removed the rest. I wanted a balanced heat, one that would compliment the natural sweetness of the fruit. I didn’t see any whole pineapple’s at Whole Foods today, but they did have these cup size “to go” packets of fresh pineapple an...

Turkey Pot Pie

Comfort foods are my favorite part of the Fall/Winter seasons. You kinda have this excuse to curl up in front of the fire with a bowl of something that was prepared by hand and cooked all day. It’s the perfect time of the year for meals like this. We all grew up on some form of pot-pie, most of us bursting our pot-pie cherries by eating a flavorless frozen version. I admittedly hated those pies, but made sure I ate the crust. That was really the only decent part of the pie, if that. Now that I’m an adult, I prefer my pot-pies to be creamy but not super thick and gloppy, like the frozen ones some of us grew up on. I like to be able to experience the texture of each vegetable in every bite. I hate potatoes that fall apart into a mealy mess, so I used Yukon Gold’s. They’re perfect for this recipe, so make sure you use them. I am a huge fan of the top and bottom crust, but not for whole pies. If I’m making a large pie — which I did here — I much prefer a top crust, only. That way I don’t h...
