I Heart Bacon ~ 20+ Fantastic Bacon Recipes!

I heart Bacon

We are starting off 2013 with bacon! Bacon has become a cult fascination over the past few years. Everywhere you look there are Bacon t-shirts, Bacon Lip Balm, Bacon Band Aids, Bacon Flavored Dental Floss,Bacon Gift Wrap, Bacon Printed Duct Tape, Bacon Soap, and even a The Shakin Bacon Dashboard Dancer.

As a vegetarian I never thought I would write a blog post about loving bacon. I have learned to cook bacon after being married to a meat eater for a few years. The first time I tried to cook bacon I had to call my Mom and ask how to do it. I probably should have thought that call through since she instantly asked who I was cooking the bacon for since I had been vegetarian over 10 years. I had to admit that I was dating John and it was getting serious. Who would have thought bacon would out our relationship to my parents.

Barbecue Corn

Barbecue Corn

This may be my new favorite thing to barbecue this summer. This corn is so easy to make and tastes fantastic.

Place corn in the middle of aluminum foil. Make sure there is enough room to wrap around the corn.

I spread Tuscan Flavored butter on the corn. This gave the corn a great seasoned flavor without being over powered.

I placed the corn on the top level of the grill while John cooked his steak. I would say we left the corn on top for probably 10 minutes.
When we took the corn off the grill I sat it on the side of the barbecue for a few minutes to cool down. Be careful when you open the foil.

Grilled Avocados

Grilled Avocados

I have to share one of John’s favorite things this summer. I randomly decided to grill an avocado a few weeks ago and see if John would like it. It turns out that he loved it and wants them all the time. They are super easy to make and everyone we have served them to has loved them.

Here is a close up picture of one of the grilled avocados

I use a knife and slice into the avocado so the olive oil can soak into the avocado. I then pour flavored olive oil over the top of the avocado. I filled the middle with a bit of cheese and topped them with Parmesan cheese. A couple of minutes on the grill and you have a warm yummy avocado treat.

John likes to eat these with a fork straight off the barbecue. We have also served them with chips. If you have a super soft avocado they work great for chips.
