Cakespy: Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies
These are so intriguing! I'm happy to hear that veggie bacon works out, because I think I'll make a batch to send to my veggie soldier, currently deployed in Iraq. I'd be a little nervous trusting that real bacon would stay good for the 10 days it takes to for the mail to arrive there!

I too have know this particular form of heartbreak--specifically with the Peking duck pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. I've been back since, but it's always such a hollow meal without my beloved Peking duck.

Saschala's got the right idea--if I could make my own pho, I'd be a happy camper.

Cook the Book: Mini Pistachio Tea Cakes
Fantastic recipe! I made my own pistachio paste with approx. 1/3 cup pistachios. I ground them up in my cheapie Kitchen Aid coffee grinder, then added a few teaspoons of water and just a sprinkling of powdered sugar (since I don't like things to be too sweet.) Worked beautifully, and the cakes were a huge hit! I used my regular muffin tin since I don't have a mini-muffin tin, and got about 11.5 little cakes.

Tips for Choosing Supermarket Coffee
In theory, I'm a coffee snob, but in practice I just want a cup of something hot and caffeinated to get me through the morning. I usually keep a can of "emergency" coffee in the freezer, for when I run out of the fresh roasted stuff and am too lazy or busy to run out and get more before the next day. We don't have a drip machine, just a cheerful little yellow espresso maker, and as far as supermarket espresso goes, I really like Medaglia D'Oro.

Key lime pie--extra tart with only slightly sweetened whipped cream and fresh lime slices all over the place. Absolute heaven.
Cakespy: Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies
I just made them and the flavor is phenomenal. But mine came out cakey too. I am definitely going to make them again and I think I'll squish them down a little, like peanut butter cookies.
They didn't spread out at all so maybe more butter?
Any other suggestions?

Made them and they came out very cake-y. Why?

A cookie with bacon...I don't know about this one.
Cakespy: Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies
I think these sound perfectly intriguing!
My Mom is in her eighties and has been cooking with bacon grease for her whole life. She even bakes cookies on a pan which has been greased with it! Not only that, she has never refrigerated the grease. So for that reason alone, Licoricewhip, I'm sure your cookied bacon bits in the cookies would be fine for 10 days on the way to Iraq - and once there, to boot! :o)
Thanks for this interesting recipe!

I made these today following the recipe precisely (which is rare for me). They turned out perfectly delicious. I will make them again and double the recipe next time.

Very interesting! Once again Cakespy teaches me something intriguing!
Cakespy: Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies
Thanks everyone!! I shared some of the doubt expressed in other comments, but after I came across the recipe I just couldn't get it out of my head.
Also, as an added note, I did freeze some, and they freeze well--but I should say that the salty-bacon flavor did develop more in the ones that were frozen and then thawed, so if you like a stronger savory-salty flavor, you might like to allow them to "age" a bit.

I might try it out of curiosity!
Tips for Choosing Supermarket Coffee
I take my coffee very seriously. have more than 3 cups a day !!
Lately I have been drinking this really great organic blend - it has a bright bold flavor.. I found it at whole foods in fresno But I have not been able to find it here in LA. I order it online and it arrive fresh to my apt.
Weaver's is a great cup for coffee for any of you who LOVE coffee. just found it on facebook

Learning how to cook Indian cuisine -- both Southern (no meat) and Northern (with meat) -- like people in India do. Most Indian restaurants here just don't offer food that captures that same wonderful taste experience.
