Bacon has grown in popularity. It is not just for breakfast anymore. Bacon is used in both sweet and savory applications, below is a photo of bacon going into a batch of chocolate chip cookies!
Bacon comes from our friend the pig. It is a fatty meat from the belly and sides of the pig. Most bacon goes through a salting or curing process, as well as a smoking process. In my opinion, bacon is delicious and we love farm fresh bacon. You will notice a significant difference between fresh local bacon and the bacon packaged in a grocery store. Bacon has a high fat to meat ratio, it is essential for the flavor we all know and love. Save that bacon fat!

Peppers with cheese and bacon, ’nuff said. This one is a favorite in the Buck residence, where spicier peppers like the jalapeño wind up at Jess’ house. Enjoy all the joy of a jalapeño popper without the spicy zing.
Olex Carrigan shared a yummy looking recipe for Fresh Corn Quiche with Bacon and Caramelized Onions! Olex used a frozen pie crust, 1 cup of fresh corn, 1 small caramelized onion, 3 strips of crisp and crumbled bacon and a generous handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Add eggs and milk and you’re on your way to a quiche-deliche! Mix it up with other CSA additions!
