Sunday Brunch: Kugelis

Anyone who grew up the Lithuanian parents or grandparents is probably familiar with this potato casserole. Similar to German kugel or potato babka from Belarus, it is a simple dish of grated potato, onions and bacon baked with eggs until crisp. Traditionally kugelis is served with applesauce or lingonberry preserves, but I like it topped with fried eggs, sour cream and scallions.

A Sandwich a Day: The Goat Cheese and Bacon from Uncle Uber's Sammich Shop

Uncle Uber's Sammich Shop in Dallas's Deep Ellum neighborhood hasn't been open very long, but over the last few months they've managed to make some serious, er, sammiches. Nomenclature aside, you should order Uncle Uber's Goat Cheese and Bacon ($6.29). The applewood smoked bacon and slices of cucumber and avocado give it a fresh taste, almost reminiscent of a BLT, but then you have that thick, rich layer of goat cheese that makes it far more substantial than its BLT cousin.

Sunday Supper: Liver with Onions, Bacon and Potatoes

Liver is polarizing; there aren't many people who kind-of like liver. You're either a lover or a hater, and if you're a lover there's no doubt you've had versions of this dish many times before. And if you're a hater, well, you're missing out. Liver and onions is a dish you can still find on many diner menus; the sweetness of the onions and the meatiness of the liver are a perfect combination. And adding some crisp fried potatoes and lovely thick cut bacon turn a humble lunch into a substantial supper.

Grilling: Pig Candy

This pig candy (that's candied bacon for the uninitiated) stands meaty as its saltiness combines with the rich sweetness of caramelized sugar, with just a touch of spice that may not be wholly apparent, but creates a little bite within the sea of sugar.

Bread Baking: Maple Bacon Bread

Yes, bacon. The universal cheater food that makes any dish an instant hit. But it's not like I'm throwing bacon around willy-nilly. This is bacon bread. Or, more appropriately, Bacon!!! Bread. Bacon wasn't enough, though. I wanted just a little more. Enter maple.

Sunday Supper: Maple Baked Beans

Having grown up in a cold, maple-filled part of the world, my love of baked beans runs hard and deep. There is nothing like getting back from snowshoeing to the beer store to a house that is filled with the aroma of sweet, salty, fatty baked beans. As with many recipes, the secret ingredient to world changing baked beans is pork.

Bacon Script

We know the bacon trend is a little passe, but when we saw this font made with actual bacon, we were admittedly curious. The letters are elaborately designed by Henry Hargreaves and Sarah Guido, who made each from actual slabs of the porky stuff. So maybe it won't replace Times New Roman, but the possibilities are endless. Bacon font holiday cards anyone?

Sandwich a Day: BLTA at Sprout Cafe in Palo Alto, CA

The premise of Sprout Cafe in Palo Alto is typical of many of its California comrades: fresh, quality ingredients, and local whenever possible. And it's for this reason that the relatively simple BLTA sandwich ($8.95) is such a success. The lettuce is incredibly fresh and actually provided flavor, not just texture. The "A" is the avocado, which adds a creaminess that's heightened by a little mayonnaise. The "B" is crisp, meaty applewood smoked bacon.

Dry Cured Tamworth Bacon from La Quercia

Does it bug anyone else that fancypants "artisanal" bacon is always so darn thick-sliced, meaty, and chewy? What if I really like the crisp, melt-in-your-mouth texture of thin-sliced supermarket bacon, but find the flavor rather lacking. What options do I have? Pretty much none. Until now. La Quercia, the producers of fantastic American-made prosciutto have recently introduced Tamworth Country Cured Bacon, a naturally cured, nitrate and nitrite-free bacon made from the belly of heritage-breed Tamworth hogs—a breed known as "the bacon pig."

Is it a covert message from chickens and pigs stationed behind enemy lines? Perhaps a salmonella warning? Or maybe it's just cute and clever. Either way, I like this t-shirt titled "Death Served Till Noon", and you can order it until the end of the day over at shirt.woot.
