Music of Christmas

I’m thankful for the music of Christmas.  I love they way it makes me feel.  I love the spirit it brings with it.  I can’t get enough of it.

Check out tomorrow’s post for some of my favorites!

Remember

Remember all the blessings of the day;

Remember some days won’t last forever;

Remember life is too short to fill it with worry;

Remember to just believe;

Remember to be thankful;

Remember who you are and how you want to be remembered;

And always, always remember the reason for the season!

Bacon Candy

Does the word bacon just make your mouth water?  Do you have visions of goodness dancing in your head?  This little bacon trick is probably nothing new to the internet world but in my world it was a fun fancy way to twist things up when serving up the goodness.

You will need some wonderful bacon.

And some of these things:

Then just bake these babies for about 25-30 minutes at 400 or until your deserved doneness.  I’m a crispy bacon girl. 

And if you really want to enhance the goodness of the bacon, dredge each slice in a mixture of brown sugar (1/2 cup) and chili powder (4 teaspoons) this amount will cover a pound of bacon.  I did and it was better than candy.  Sadly in my excitement for the goodness of the bacon candy, I dredged it, rolled it, baked it and ate it and forgot to take pictures of it. 

It was heaven!!!
