Bacon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I’m no stranger to the whole bacon in cookies sitch. I love that sweet salty combination like it’s nobody’s business.  But why limit ourselves to just peanut butter bacon cookies? Let’s go ahead and add it to my favorite cookie of ALL time (besides ginger molasses cookies). I present to you BACON Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.  Why didn’t I think of this sooner?

Let me tell you, these cookies are magical. The promise of one cookie makes my three year old eat ALL of his fruits & vegetables at dinner time.  And after eating three cookies for dessert, my husband gives me the “I love you soooooo much” look that I always hope to see when I make special treats. Good deal.

Did I mention that these beauties are considered breakfast cookies? Think hearty oatmeal & raisins mixed with a crispy cookie/scone. Bacon is added cuz it’s always so hard to figure out if you want a sweet or savory breakfast! It’s an all encompassing cookie and it’s gonna get me into SOOOOOOO much trouble.

Mini Cheddar Popovers

If you decide to make these delicious/simple mini cheddar popovers, make sure you….

MAKE THEM FOR COMPANY!

mini cheddar popovers

It’s easier to avoid eating an entire batch on your own when you have people to share them with. They’re cheesy, crunchy and slightly chewy. They’re like gougères without the fuss! Pair some with soup, dip a few in marinara sauce or stand in your kitchen leaning over a basket full of them and eat them like no one is looking. Wait…maybe you shouldn’t make them for company? It’s your call!

Creamy Carrot Soup

It’s a shame the Soup Nazi went out of business because he would have had a real hit with this Creamy Carrot Soup. I have no doubt, he would have charged $5 for a slice of my garlic bread and only exceptional customers who made absolutely no sounds got two slices. If Kramer was around, he’d probably add a dollop of parsley oil on top of his soup; they were tight like that.

I love the creamy/sweet/savory combination of this carrot soup. It’s both hearty & llight and the addition of parsley oil helps round out the flavor.

Soup for me, soup for you, SOUP FOR EVERYONE!

Man, I miss Seinfeld and my friend James who gave me this sweet little recipe!
