Crispy Bacon Grilled Cheese Roll Ups

by

Two favorite foods rolled into one! Okay, maybe not to everyone.

I was out with my friends one day, and we were talking about food. One of my friends mentioned how much she loved bacon sandwiches. I had never had one before, so she decided to make me one.

I was really excited to try it, but when I took my first bite, I was really disappointed. It was just a piece of bacon between two slices of bread. I mean, don’t get me wrong, bacon is delicious. But a bacon sandwich? It just didn’t do it for me.

I think the problem was that I was expecting something different. I was expecting something more than just bacon and bread. I was expecting something special. But in the end, it was just a sandwich.  So I set out to find a bacon sandwich that was so much more than just bacon on bread.

Holly at Spend with Pennies shows you how to roll a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon. Great idea! Holly has lots of great ideas, including a no-bake rolo pie that caught my eye. Check out her site!

This might be the perfect pick me up for the rainy and chilly forecast this weekend. Now to figure out if we will watch a movie or play board games while enjoying them.

These don’t have to be just for breakfast, perfect for afternoon snacks or midnight feasts too. If you love bacon you are going to love these!

We love Bacon here at Craftgossip, in face we actually created a Pinterest board just for Bacon. THE WORLDS BEST BACON RECIPES.

Crazy about bacon? So I was looking around for new Bacon recipes and guess what I came across?

No, seriously you will never ever guess. A Bacon Scratch and Sniff cookbook!  I know you are as curious as me right now and that is why I just had to buy it too as a gift for my bacon-loving husband.

The Bacon Scratch & Sniff Cookbook promises to sway even the most hardened vegetarians with its forty bacon-centric recipes (not to mention its nifty scratch-and-sniff feature on the book’s cover)—from piggy snacks, including caramel bacon popcorn, candied bacon strips, and bacon-wrapped sweet potato wedges, to heartier main dishes like bacon-covered mac-and-cheese burgers, smoky bacon tacos, and the ultimate pasta carbonara. Did we mention dessert too? You’ll also find bacon and pecan ice cream, choc-bacon cookies, and everything bacon imaginable. It’s time to pig out, because everything is better with bacon!

  1. I really love this idea. Im sure i can figure out how to put this together from the picture but directions would be nice.

  2. Click on the web page in blue, that brings you to the web page that gives you the direction

  3. Click on the web page that is in blue letters and that will bring you to web page. The recipe and tutorial is right there

  4. I just tried clicking on the Blue letters and it’s not taking me to a page with instructions. It just keeps loading the same page. Can you email the directions to me?

    Thank You

    J.R.

  6. I’d say go for the movies… the board game pieces might end up a bit messy, as these look like finger-foods. 8)

  8. Would really like to try these, but I can’t find the recipe anywhere. You’re mentioning clicking “on the web page that is in blue letters…”, but I don’t see the url anywhere. Would you mind posting it? Thanks!

  12. These look amazing but I would like to have the recipe too. Can’t get anything to come up for it.

  16. Seriously? Do people even care about their health and well being? I’m all for yummy but this looks like instant heartburn and is why most Americans are sporting an extra 15 pounds or so. And the scariest thing…most of you drooling over this “recipe” are probably wishing profoundly that they were only a mere 15 pounds overweight. The choices we make are why we’re happy or not. Food that doesn’t nourish the body as well as the soul are why you feel like crap. Just sayin’….

  23. Clicked on the link for bacon wrapped grilled cheese numerous time to get receipe, each time went back to same page with no receipe…. Not happy… 🙁

  26. How do I get your receipts ? I am home bound and can not get out so can I get them on FB or what?

  27. i clicked on the link and still do not get the directions to the crispy bacon grilled chesse roll ups!

  29. No directions that I can find. When I click on the blue lettered web page, it just comes right back to here. Bad design to say the least.

  37. HELP STILL CAN NOT FIND THE RECIPES FOR THE BACON AND GRILLED CHEESE ROLL UPS AND THE HAMBURGER AND BACON ROLL UPS. BEEN TRYING FOR AN HOUR. THANKS

How Much Do You Really Need? A No-Stress Party Drinks Guide for Real Women Who Host

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over years of hosting everything from kids’ birthdays to backyard 50ths, it’s this: running out of drinks will haunt you forever, and overbuying means staring at a fridge full of lukewarm mixers for the next six months. Neither is fun. So I finally sat down—cup of tea in hand, Aloo asleep at my feet—and pulled together the no-nonsense drinks calculator I wish I’d had years ago.

This guide is written for the woman who does it all: planning, prepping, pouring, smiling through the chaos… while trying to make the whole thing feel effortless. Whether you’re throwing a birthday bash, retirement party, holiday get-together, or the classic “just because we need a night with the girls,” this calculator will take the guesswork out.

Let’s keep it simple, doable, and totally stress-free.

The 3-Rule Party Drink Calculator
 (You can literally plan your whole bar with this.)

  1. Assume 2 drinks per guest in the first hour
     People arrive thirsty. They mingle. They top up.
  2. Then 1 drink per guest per hour after that
     This is where the pace naturally slows.
  3. Multiply by your party length
     Done. No apps, no math headaches, no complicated charts.

Quick Cheat Sheet: What to Buy for 10, 20, 30, or 50 Guests

For a 3-hour party:

10 Guests
 – Wine: 3–4 bottles
 – Beer/Cider: 12–18 bottles
 – Spirits: 1 bottle vodka or gin + 2 mixers
 – Soft drinks: 4–6 litres
 – Water: 4–6 litres

20 Guests
 – Wine: 6–8 bottles
 – Beer/Cider: 24–36 bottles
 – Spirits: 2 bottles + 4–5 mixers
 – Soft drinks: 8–10 litres
 – Water: 10 litres

30 Guests
 – Wine: 10–12 bottles
 – Beer/Cider: 36–48 bottles
 – Spirits: 3 bottles + 6–8 mixers
 – Soft drinks: 12–14 litres
 – Water: 12–16 litres

50 Guests
 – Wine: 15–20 bottles
 – Beer/Cider: 60–80 bottles
 – Spirits: 4–5 bottles + 10 mixers
 – Soft drinks: 20 litres
 – Water: 20–25 litres

If You’re Serving Mostly Wine
 Go 60% white, 40% red unless it’s winter, then flip it.

For afternoon parties, rosé counts as a white—buy a couple bottles because someone always wants it.

If You’re Serving Cocktails
 Stick to one signature cocktail plus a basic spirit (vodka or gin) with soda or tonic. Trust me, nobody needs a full bar unless you’re running a hotel.

For a 20-guest gathering:
 – 2–3 bottles liquor for the signature cocktail
 – Enough mixer to match (lemonade, juice, ginger beer, etc.)
 – Garnishes: limes, lemons, mint, berries
 – 2kg ice for shaking and topping

If You’re Serving Beer Drinkers
 Plan for 1.5 bottles per person per hour if beer is the star of the show.
 Beer-focused gatherings are thirstier gatherings. It’s science.

Don’t Forget Ice — Seriously
 Ice is the one thing everyone underbuys. You need more than you think.

Ice Guide:
 – Small gathering (10 guests): 3–4 kg
 – Medium (20–30): 6–8 kg
 – Large (50): 10–12 kg

If it’s summer, add another 20%.

Essential Mixers That Always Get Used
 – Soda water
 – Tonic
 – Lemonade
 – Cola
 – Cranberry juice
 – Orange juice
 – Ginger beer
 – Fresh citrus (honestly the unsung hero of any bar)

Keep it simple; nobody needs lychee cordial at a 60th birthday unless you really love lychee.

Water, Water, Water
 Your future self will thank you. Hydrated guests dance more, complain less, and recover beautifully.

Plan for 1 litre per person minimum.
 More if it’s hot, outdoors, or includes dancing (my favourite cardio).

When in Doubt, Buy a Little Extra
 You can always send guests home with leftover cans and bottles. It doubles as a quiet nudge to clean your fridge.

The only time I truly regret buying extra is when Aloo gets into the recycling bin the next day and has the time of his life spreading cans around the backyard.

Hosting Made Easier
 Once you’ve used this drinks calculator once or twice, it becomes instinctive. And honestly, when you’ve got the drinks sorted, the rest of the party feels lighter. No frantic runs to the bottle shop, no panic when the rosé runs out. You get to relax, enjoy, and actually be present at your own gathering—what a concept.
