There was a time in my life that I didn’t eat real bacon. I know…the horror.
I only ate turkey bacon.

Then one glorious summer day, Josh made me a BLT sandwich with fresh garden tomatoes, crisp romaine lettuce and piles of crispy, salty bacon. What I learned that day? That I had been seriously missing out on many, many years of bacon consumption.
It was fantastic.
Top 10 Reasons Bacon is AWESOME:
1) Is there any other meat product that you can crisp up in a short amount of time that is salty, crisp, and delicious? I think not. ONLY bacon. It is truly one of a kind!
2) Bacon is so delicious that even my picky eaters will eat it. In fact, bacon is currently the ONLY meat product that Tyler will eat. That alone speaks volumes about bacon’s greatness.

3) The way your house smells after cooking bacon is simply divine. Perhaps even heavenly. You can even bathe with Bacon Soap so you can smell that divine scent all day long.
4) Bacon is versatile, which makes it awesome. I add bacon to soups, chowders, pastas, salads….you name it. Everything is better with bacon.
5) Did you know that Bacon Salt exists? Why yes it does….Bacon Salt, check it out.
6) Bacon is by far the #1 cure for a hangover.
Or in this dude's case...maybe not.
7) Bacon wrapped weenies. #EnoughSaid
8 ) Bacon greatness lends itself to bacon themed clothing.

9) Bacon also lends itself to not so great clothing. Think Lady Gaga meat suit. This might be worse, but still this bacon provides humor.
10) You can make Bacon Vodka. #YesPlease
{Do you also believe in Bacon’s Awesomeness? What do you love about bacon?}
OH EM GEE. Just when I thought those little weenies couldn’t be any better (seriously… those are the only little weenies a gal should love, am I right?), you show me a picture of them wrapped in BACON. Holy mother of God.

Those bacon wrapped weenies are the bombbbb.
And that soap? Must have…immediately. Along with the bacon bra. My husband will probably divorce me so he can remarry me all over again.
I can’t believe you posted pictures of yourself in your bacon bra and bacon loving panties.

Well now I’m just hungry.
When I was pregnant with my son, I had BLTs every.single.day for lunch.
OK, now I’m REALLY hungry.

Bacon! Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon BACON!
How could you make me want bacon so when I’m at work and unable to procure it?
HOW?!?!
Dumb Dad would probably lose his mind if I gave him #9. I won’t do it htough b/c I can’t risk ruining bacon for myself. He’s not worth that.

Does that bacon bra come in a larger size?
Because I am going to need a little more support than that.
I couldn’t agree more. Bacon rocks. And the smell…that’s one of the best parts of cooking bacon!
umm hello? Where can I get this bacon soap? Freakin awesome! Just had bacon pizza…theres #11. Yeah the pizza had other stuff – but who cares when you got bacon!

I think bacon deserves its own place on the food pyramid. That way we would all have to have bacon – every day!

I love all these bacon items you found! I’m “guilty” of eating primarily turkey bacon for health reasons, but if IHOP serves me the good stuff, I don’t turn my nose up to it!
I’ve gotta try the bacon salt! Maybe if I put a little of that on my turkey bacon? Oh, you should totally try Shrimp Kisses…shrimp wrapped in bacon (or turkey bacon) you can even stuff with some cheese, then bake. Delicious.
Stopping by from Mama Kats. Didn’t post this week, but I do have a lot of recent posts on my blog – http://www.momma-licious.blogspot.com. New follower of yours, please follow back and leave comments on posts you like!
*shakes head* Bacon Soap? Bacon Bra? Take a shower with bacon soap and wear a bacon bra and a lot of Dogs will be following you around (both the 2 legged kind and the 4 legged kind). Lol.
But ummm, *whisper* I don’t eat bacon…. never really got the hankering for it. My husband will ONLY eat it if it’s VERY crisp
Aleta’s last blog What is this
I’m not sure if there are words to describe just how awesome bacon is.
You might think it’s crazy (most people do at first) but chocolate covered bacon is to die for!! My husband used to sprinkle sugar on his bacon as soon as it was done cooking. Almost as good as the chocolate covered bacon.

I agree and also put in my bacon post, about it’s versatility. SERIOUSLY!!!! What other food can you literally eat in EVERY SINGLE COURSE? It’s fantastic.
So glad to find bacon salt in another blog post, as I didn’t add it to mine. #baconistafail But none the less, I’m glad to see it wasn’t forgotten. And? I totally need some bacon undies.
Great post!

Does that bacon bra lift and separate?
I read your blog but never comment. THIS REQUIRES A COMMENT.
Bacon deliciousness? OOOH YES.
1 pound potatoes, peeled, cut into wedges, cooked until ALMOST done
1 package bacon, cut in 1/2
Season the potatoes with whatever spices you liked (I use s&p, rosemary, evoo & garlic). WRAP THEM IN BACON. Secure with toothpick. Bake in oven until crispy. Dip in sour cream mixed with hot sauce. YUMYUMYUM.
omg i most definitly adore BACON!
