As a maker of yummy edibles, my recipes often come from an inspiration ingredient. This week, that was so. While perusing my local bottle shop, I happened upon a bottle of Southern Tier’s newest offering, Choklat Orange. It’s a new version of their chocolate stout (Choklat). Mind you, I already know I love using Choklat as…
I guess you could call me a craft beer enthusiast… as in, I’m enthused about drinking delicious beers and lots of them. Not usually all in one setting, but occasionally I over-serve myself. Usually when this happens, I’m out at a bar. I can tell you exactly how it goes down. Around the time I…
When I started Bacon & Legs, I was more of a pun fan than a bacon fan. Sure, I loved it. Who doesn’t? ESPECIALLY recovering vegetarians. It was a remarkable treat. But the blog was more or less about fun comfort food with some wit. A few years later and bacon has woven itself into…
I was contacted this month by the very sweet and funny Anthony from flavorfulworld.com. He asked if he could interview me as their featured blogger this month. I am obviously not going to say no to that! The questions were well thought out and insightful and I was really honored he knew so much about…
Ingredient-specific beers get me going. Especially when the brewers take such care in selecting their ingredients. When I tried Bison Beer’s Organic Honey Basil Ale, I knew I had to cook with it. I’ve been hammering out the recipe for a couple months, but I have it fine-tuned for you guys. Crispy salted flatbread with…
I have been trying to fatten up my friends and family since I was 2 years old. For the past few years, I have been trying to fatten up strangers with BaconandLegs.com. But I want to be better at fattening you all up. Please take a minute (seriously, a minute) and fill out this super…
For years now you have been deceived. You’ve spent your whole life without the proper understanding of something that is supposed to be classic and perfect. I’m here to bring you the truth. BLT does not stand for Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. BLT stands for Bacon, Legs and Tomato. It’s just been sitting there waiting…
For breakfast, scrambles are the tits. It’s simple and fucking delicious every time. I was throwing shit together the other day and it turned out so well that I had to write it down. This isn’t one of my egg white healthy shits. It’s got potatoes and sausage and cheese and it’s exactly what you’re…
We all change. Our palettes develop. We become more refined. But I had this hunch that my palette does not think it’s too good for Spam. I think it’s one of those things where it gets a bad rep because it’s processed, packaged in a can and has one of those gross-long shelf lives. But…
Having just moved to Ohio, I have very few friends in the area. I was pumped when this wonderful, charming girl (who I kinda know) wanted to hang out. Friend date! I offered to cook for her. She said she liked Mexican food and cheese and she tries to steer clear of gluten. I love…
