Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings

By: Heather Tallman Yes. You read that correctly. I said bacon wrapped onion rings. In the last several years I have made many things that I have wrapped in bacon and only a few have made it to my site. Why? Because we either ate it before I could photograph it OR they turned out what I like to call ‘Ugly-Delish’. You get the point.

Weeknight Dinner: Spicy Chicken l'Orange Burgers with Asian Slaw

By: Dani Time to get saucy!  Yes, it’s that time!  Saucy Mama is having another recipe contest and I was thrilled when they picked me to be one of their 25 blogger participants.  Especially because you could win $1,000.  But even more than that, you gain entry into the World Food Championships which I hear from everyone was THE coolest cooking contest in the land last year.   So when the sauces came my way, I spent a few days deliberating what to make.  Just a few though because the package was delivered and picked up by our super who forgot about it and we ran around looking for it for like 3 days.  Finally found it and started tasting.
