I really enjoy enjoy cooking, it’s very theraputic and stress relieving for me. I also love to have people join me, so that we can have lots of fun cooking together. One of the best ways to take care of yourself is to make a home cooked meal for yourself. So many people eat out constantly today, but we should show ourselves some love by cooking a healthy meal, sitting down at the table and enjoying your creation.
The holidays can be stressful, with preparing to have family and friends over or making a dish to take to a work or family gathering. There are lots of potlucks, tree trimmings and holiday parties that may require you to bring a dish. You want to take something that is easy and fabulous, something that won’t take up too much of your precious time and that you can knock out in a short time.
Here’s a recipe that we tried last year for our annual holiday party that was an epic hit. It’s sweet, salty and savory all at the same time and it’s BACON! It’s also very easy to make. It is a real crowd pleaser, give it a try for your next holiday get together, office party or family gathering and you’ll be the talk of the party. So grab your Boo, (even if it’s just for company) and keep it simple and always cook with love.
