Spicy Brown Sugar Bacon {aka Pig Candy}

Spicy Brown Sugar Bacon is a mixture of cayenne pepper, brown sugar topping sprinkled over strips of bacon in a single layer and baked. Have you every had Pig Candy? If you have not, you are missing the highlight of eating bacon. When I first heard about this recipe over at Mommy's Kitchen , I thought why ? 

Pear Salad {Granny's Recipe}

Pear Salad  is   a vintage recipe going way back.  Pears are filled with mayonnaise and freshly grated cheddar cheese, then topped with a cherry. This recipe is a childhood favorite of mine. My mother would always make Pear Salad with canned pear halves, as none the difference from fresh pears.

Oreo Truffles

Oreo truffles, cookie crumbs blended with cream cheese and covered with a chocolate candy coating for the best-tasting truffles. These Oreo Truffles were a great addition to the  Red Velvet and Coconut Cream Cake Balls I served recently at a reception. Over at  Bakerella's blog post, she says it best "Oreo Truffles made with, you guessed it… Oreo cookies. They are super easy to make and even easier to eat. Oreo cookies are crushed blended with cream cheese and then covered in white chocolate".
