Cheesy meatball casserole. I made a huge batch of meatballs right before Eva was born as part of my stock-the-freezer project, and I finally used the last of them this week.

the ooey-gooey factor
YumMozzarella meatball bake. It's no secret that I have very strong, often very strange preferences when it comes to food. I think I confound my husband just about every day in that way.

the obvious answer
YumWhat do you do when you have two sausage links on the verge of getting slimy and green peppers popping up in your garden faster than you can feasibly consume them?

piggly wiggly
YumMaple and bacon taste good together, this much we know. We recently took a little vacation to Duck, NC, and had some maple bacon donuts, further proving the point.

I've been known to complain from time to time, about everything from the rain to terrible drivers to the ever-present dog hair on my clothes. One thing about which I never need to gripe again is the time and effort it takes to marinate my pork loin--Smithfield® has taken care of that!

scaling the precipice like a couple of mountain goats

when change is good
YumWhen I find a recipe that's easy, relatively inexpensive, and yields delicious results, I tend to stick with it. Sure, I may tweak it here and there each time I make it, but the basic method and ingredients usually remain the same.

YumSome people think pig tails are just a hair style for little girls. I guess those people weren't raised in a farming family with a grandpa with a peculiar sense of humor.

this little piggy went to market
YumI know I'm not the only person who thought Stacey's maple bacon cheesecake on The Next Food Network Star sounded amazing, right? Bacon in dessert applications seems to be the way to go these days.

iiiiit's bacon!
Yum
More than almost any other aroma, the smell of sizzling bacon has a magical power to convince a person that she's hungry even if she's only just stuffed her stomach full of other foods.
