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.

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...

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...

Bourbon French Toast

Decadence. Pure decadence. This is a recipe for adults, but you’re more than welcome to leave the bourbon out of this recipe if you’re sensitive to alcohol, or feeding kids. This french toast is flavored with sweet vanilla, cinnamon and is spiked with bourbon, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It’s your party. I used challah bread, which is an egg bread and super rich and creamy in texture. It soaks up the custard wonderfully, and after being baked off for a good 15 minutes in the oven, you’re ensured it’s all the way cooked thru. You don’t have to use challah bread either, but I suggest giving it a try at least once in your life. It’s pretty awesome for rich french toast recipes. I bought my loaf fresh, so I had to dry it out in the oven for about 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven while prepping. Even after drying it out a bit, it was still incredibly moist. I let it soak about 10 seconds per side, until saturated but not soggy and falling apart. Again, just m...
