Bacon Wrapped Pork Roast
A bright spot in our allergy struggles has been that we can all eat bacon. And so we eat bacon a lot. So when I was searching for a recipe for a pork roast I had bought, and came across a bacon wrapped pork roast, I was pretty excited. Turns out, it was for good reason. The roast was awesome and I’m already plotting how long I must wait to put this on the dinner menu again. Next week too soon?? Below is the whole dinner… it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free. I cooked it all in the same oven (once it went to 425), and there were very few dishes…

A New Year’s Meal
My mom and brother came up to celebrate a late Christmas with us in Georgia, but since they are leaving New Year’s day, I fixed my traditional New Year’s meal two days early. For me, a New Year’s meal means ham, collard greens, black eyed peas and cornbread. And then I add whatever else I’m in the mood for – which this year meant we had green beans and mac and cheese. Talk about a feast! Most times I use hog jowl or salt pork, but this year I lucked out with my hubby picking up some house-smoked bacon from a local butcher shop and so half of my dishes…

Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
We enjoyed this salad with our Pork Tenderloin Marsala last night. I can’t take all the credit on this one… I knew what I wanted this to be in theory, but had to call in the real chef (Blake) for the execution on the warm bacon vinaigrette. It turned out great – and the different color tomatoes made it a beautiful salad as well! This would be a great addition to any meal (or make a meal by itself!). Some of the quantities below are approximate – real chefs don’t have time to measure 🙂 Just taste and adjust as needed. Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette Salad Fresh spinach…

Turkey sandwich with candied bacon and caramelized onion
So I’m not typically a sandwich for dinner kind of girl. But then there are some sandwiches that really belong in a category all by themselves… and this would be that sandwich. I cannot take the credit for this one though – this one is all the hubby. He is the chef of the family, after all. He first made this for me almost three years ago when Atlanta had a snow/ice storm and we were “iced in” for a couple of days. It definitely made being stuck indoors a little more bearable. When I decided to make soup yesterday, I had to propose it to the hubs with something…
