Let's talk bacon!

[stearns]

Can confirm bacon pancakes are the best things ever. Place strip of cooked bacon in pan, cover bacon in pancake batter, flip as you usually would and see that beautiful bacon cooked into the bottom. A little bit of pure maple syrup and you've got a well balanced breakfast. I used to do it all the time, not sure why I stopped but it may need to resume soon

Bacon can actually help achieve one's health goals.

I love quality hot sauce. I fry my bacon up and drizzle some honey infused with ghost pepper powder on it and do BLTs. It's amazing.
