Mmm…Bacon 5 Interesting Bacon Recipes

October 22, 2008 by Meaghan Mountford

That’s right. A whole post dedicated to bacon (forgive me vegetarians, but these were too interesting to overlook). First, lollyphile. The San Francisco based company uses only high quality ingredients. That’s real bacon, sustainably farmed. They are only a year old, so thus far have three flavors: Maple-Bacon, Wasabi-Ginger, and Absinthe (yes, legal).

The uber-clever blogger of “not martha” created these bacon cups and she of course offers detailed instructions for making them. As always, you can spend much time on this site and you can learn how to do all kinds of fabulous, crafty things.

And check out “instructables” for a step-by-step to creating these bacon placemats, or bacon “textiles” as they call them.

And lastly,  chocolate covered bacon. Yes. Chocolate covered bacon. They only ship to California (understandably, given weather conditions and melting), but you can also make your own with this recipe from Yumsugar, for yes, chocolate covered bacon. My husband would love this.

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!

    When I saw the picture of the bacon lollipops it cracked me up. My friend’s brother likes to eat chocolate with bacon bits, but I ahven’t had a chance to rty them yet. It sounds pretty gross, especially since I don’t like bacon, but this was a very amusing post!

    I found your blog on Google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Bacon News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

How to Make Thick Yoghurt Smoothie Bowls in the Ninja Slushie Maker

A quick, creamy breakfast with fresh fruit added on top

Smoothie bowls are one of those beautiful breakfasts that feel healthy and a little indulgent at the same time. Thick, cold, creamy, and pretty enough that you almost don’t want to eat them… almost.

The Ninja Slushie Maker takes all the effort out of it.
Instead of dealing with frozen fruit bricks or blenders that complain loudly, you simply mix your yoghurt base, chill it, and let the Ninja turn it into the perfect thick smoothie-bowl texture — no ice required.

If you are like me and come addicted to these smoothie bowls then you will want to invest in these double walled bowls, this is my favorite brand and these have been great. 

Then you top it with your fresh fruit afterwards so the bowl stays thick, cold, and spoon-worthy.

It’s easy, quick, and a lovely way to start the day.

Why Yoghurt Works So Well in the Ninja Slushie Maker

Yoghurt freezes into a silky, firm slush — similar to soft-serve but healthier and lighter. Because the machine creates the icy texture itself (instead of relying on ice cubes), the mixture never becomes watery or gritty.

Just smooth, cold, creamy perfection you can decorate to your heart’s content.

The Basic Yoghurt Slush Base

Once you learn this base recipe, you can create endless flavour combinations.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain or Greek yoghurt, chilled 
  • ½–1 cup milk of your choice (just enough to loosen the mixture) 
  • 1–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional) 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) 

Method

  1. Stir all ingredients together until smooth. 
  2. Chill the mixture in the fridge until very cold. 
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Slushie Maker. 
  4. Blend on the slush setting until thick, creamy, and icy. 
  5. Spoon into a bowl and add your fruit and toppings. 

This base has enough body to hold granola, berries, and nut butter without sinking.

Topping Ideas (Add These After Blending)

Fresh Fruit

  • Strawberries 
  • Blueberries 
  • Banana slices 
  • Mango 
  • Kiwi 
  • Peaches 

Crunchy Toppers

  • Granola 
  • Toasted coconut 
  • Chopped nuts 
  • Cacao nibs 

Extras

  • Honey drizzle 
  • Peanut butter 
  • Chia seeds 
  • Freeze-dried fruit crumbs 

Easy Flavour Variations

Berries & Cream Smoothie Bowl

Use vanilla yoghurt as your base. Top with raspberries, strawberries, and a sprinkle of granola.

Tropical Coconut Bowl

Add a splash of coconut milk to the base. Top with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and toasted coconut flakes.

Chocolate Yoghurt Bowl

Mix 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder into the base. Top with banana slices and a peanut-butter drizzle.

Meal-Prep Tip

Prepare the yoghurt base the night before and store it in small jars.
In the morning, just pour one jar directly into the Ninja Slushie Maker and you’ve got a thick, cold, ready-to-top breakfast in minutes.
