This morning, I put bacon in the oven (so easy that way!!) and then started preparing Pioneer Woman's bacon appetizers as a snack for the boys later on. They bake for two hours. Lamb, our 13-year old, made eggs to go with the bacon. He has really succeeded in getting the eggs just right--they are not over- or under-done--they are soft and buttery and delicious! He makes scrambled eggs for his little brothers and over-easy eggs for himself and me. We had a nice brunch and then cleaned up the kitchen. The PWbacon will probably be ready by the time my little ones start wandering into the kitchen for a snack! I'll let y'all know if I like them~from the reviews, it sounds like the "guys" enjoy them more than the "gals"!
We had gluten-free toast with our meal, from the bread I made last night, and it was very good. I really need to find a homemade recipe that is just as good--the mix costs about $5.49 for one loaf of bread, which is kind of pricey...if anyone has a tried/true gluten-free bread *machine* recipe, please let me know! (The bread machine makes it so easy--I don't think I would have time to make homemade bread from scratch every day!).
Christmas Candy--I have all of the ingredients to make chocolate-covered cherries and I am hoping to make those, plus some fudge and other candies, on Friday. My family is having their Christmas party on Saturday and I am not sure if we are going to make it, but I would like to bring candy for everyone if we go...
Well, I am going to hit another area in my living room for an hour~hopefully I can get this one corner full of Christmas boxes cleared out!

Did you like the bacon appetizers??
Ok, I have a dumb question ~ When you said you put the bacon in the oven did you mean that you cooked it like that for breakfast and if you did I NEED to know how in the world you do that so I can do it too and not have any more bacon grease splattered all over my stove. :wink-wink: What a great idea!
I really wan't to make my own bread too. I don't think I could get the hang of kneeding it right. My MIL made amazing bread but I never asked her to show me how she did it and now she's no longer with us to ask. I really need a bread machine too. lol
Beth, I actually liked them! I was expecting not to! But, I also thought they looked suspiciously like dog treats...
Jody, 400 degrees for about 15 minutes--I LOVE making bacon like this, in fact, it's pretty much the ONLY way I make it now, LOL. The temp. of your oven might vary, so keep an eye on your bacon around 12 minutes. What I like to do is line a cookie tray with aluminum foil (makes clean up *that* much easier!) and then I put the bacon side by side, getting as many slices on there as possible! (I have a mini-cookie sheet that I use for the last 4-5 pieces--I bake these on the bottom rack, but they have to come out around 12 minutes or they'll burn).
I've used my George Foreman grill for bacon, too, but really the oven (combined with aluminum foil!) is the easiest as far as clean-up!
Have I told you this is brilliant??? No? Well it is! I can't wait to try it. Thank's Kat!! :so-cool:
