The Deal With Bacon...

I swear, for someone that doesn't eat it, I cook more bacon than anyone I know. That is what we call love people! So, the deal is, breakfast for dinner...if I cook bacon, I get waffles or pancakes. The boys had hash browns, bacon and over easy eggs.

I realized last night that my sweet tooth is broken. Seriously, I used to jump at the thought of making pancakes smothered in fruit and peanut butter or strawberries and coconut cream. Now, I want savory.

I made huge stack of toasted waffles with oats, chickpea flour and nutritional yeast...who am I? Last nights dinner was delicious and I was happy I chose savory! Accompanied it the waffles with sauteed peppers and onions along with a huge egg white omelet, I was in heaven!

There was another request here last night...bacon popcorn. If there are bacon drippings left, the boys always ask for popcorn made with it. For the bacon lovers out there, just replace the oil in the stovetop method with the drippings and cook it as the directions instruct you.

I don't eat it either but I make a ton of it too! I think my boyfriend would think he died and went to heaven if I made him bacon popcorn...

I have never had savory waffles but that sounds pretty delicious!

A sweet tooth can break? I didn't know that was possible! LOL

And I hope we can get together another time soon. :)

I've never tried savory oats. I keep wanting to, but then I always fall back to the tried and true blends. Happy Friday!!!

Even if it might not be my "thing," per say, I can still appreciate a good idea when I hear one...and bacon popcorn sounds like an awesome idea!!
Your waffles look so wonderful! I've been preferring them savory over sweet lately, myself ;)

You can borrow some of my sweet tooth if you want. I have plenty to go around!

I'm buying a waffle iron just to make these waffles and I can't even imagine how good the house must smell with popcorn and bacon!

The same thing happens to me. I'll seriously make pancakes every single night for 6 weeks smothered in peanut butter and syrup. Then all of a sudden, the cravings stop and I go a couple weeks of more savory dishes like pasta and stir frys. That popcorn looks good, never thought about bacon popcorn! I wonder what it would taste like with a bit of maple syrup chips thrown in there! Check out my giveaway!
