I Heart Cooking Clubs: Better With Bacon

This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs, everything is Better With Bacon!!

That's right! It's time to BRING HOME THE BACON and FRY IT IN THE PAN!

Crispy or chewy, bacon is delicious with pancakes, on cheeseburgers, with pasta, cornbread, or as a topping for salad. Come to think of it....is there anything that bacon isn't good on? Just a little bit of bacon adds so much flavor!

So many options, what sounds good to you? Choose any Mark Bittman recipe containing bacon, from one of his books or online, make it and post by Sunday July 11th, link up your post with Mr. Linky below, and remember to leave a comment so we know you are frying up bacon! It's that easy!

BTW--Don't forget to stop by and check out all the great Picnic Basket treats from last week.

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
